Former Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to a person familiar with the situation. The deal also includes a $10 million mutual option for 2027. Rengifo, who turns 29 later this month, spent his entire seven-year MLB career with the Angels, batting .238 with 9 homers and 43 RBIs last season.

Why it matters

Rengifo's signing fills a need at third base for the Brewers, who traded away their previous starter Caleb Durbin earlier this week. The versatile Rengifo has experience playing multiple infield positions and could provide a steady presence at the hot corner for Milwaukee.

The details

Rengifo's contract with the Brewers is for one year at $3.5 million, with a $10 million mutual option for 2027. He is expected to take over as Milwaukee's starting third baseman after the team traded Caleb Durbin to the Boston Red Sox earlier this week. Rengifo has played 409 games at second base, 199 at third, 97 at shortstop and 51 in the outfield during his MLB career.

  • Rengifo agreed to the deal on February 14, 2026.
  • Rengifo's 29th birthday is on February 26, 2026.
