Brewers Reportedly Add Luis Rengifo on One-Year Deal to Bolster Infield

The reported deal follows trades that left Milwaukee thin at third base.

Overview

  • MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that Rengifo agreed to a one-year Major League contract with Milwaukee, with the club yet to announce it.
  • Reported terms include $3.5 million guaranteed, up to $1.5 million in incentives, and a $10 million mutual option for 2027.
  • The addition addresses depleted third-base depth and positions Rengifo for an early opportunity to claim regular time at the hot corner.
  • A switch-hitter who spent seven seasons with the Angels, Rengifo has logged innings across three infield spots and the outfield and brings roster flexibility into spring training.
  • After stronger production from 2022–24, he posted a down 2025 (.238/.287/.335, 73 OPS+) with a higher strikeout rate, though reports note his quality-of-contact metrics stayed similar to prior years.
