Angels News: Hunter Renfroe Wants to Remain With Halos Past Trade Deadline, Open to Contract Extension

Who's staying with the Halos after the trade deadline?

All of this buzz about Angels superstar, Shohei Ohtani, has everyone forgetting that he's not the only one that can be dealt away from the Angels.

So, with the trade deadline rapidly approaching, who else could be in jeopardy of finding a new home? 

As a professional athlete, there's a lot of hardships that come with being traded to a new team, including the new community and city that they have to adjust to, Players' families have to be moved with them, and with only a week and some change until the deadline, there are plenty of Angels players that could be moved by trade deadline. 

Hunter Renfroe, however, is hoping to not be one of them. 

A free-agent-to-be after this season, Renfroe has been a key player to the Angels push for a playoff spot this season. 

The outfielder has recently welcomed a baby boy to the world, so the possibility of a trade is a valid reason for concern. 

“(I’ve) got a 1-month-old baby. It’s going to cross your mind a little bit... But it’s something you can’t really worry about.”

The Angels outfielder has had an okay year, with a .244 batting average, 15 home runs and 42 RBIs. But he's had some solid moments, and wants to remain in Anaheim at least for the rest of the season, if not more.

Renfroe has expressed his happiness towards the organization, asking that he's not traded as he believes that this team can make a run to the playoffs. He's also expressed that he's willing to work out a new deal with the Angels during the offseason. 

The Angels aren't really known for buying, but if there was ever a year to do it, this would be the one.
