Tommy Pham Heading Back To The Cardinals
4 months agoThe St. Louis Cardinals acquired veteran outfielder Tommy Pham from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in a three-team deal that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to sources. Pham was originally a 16th-round selection by the Red Birds in 2006 and spent the first four seasons of his big-league career in St. Louis before joining the Tampa Bay Rays in a trade. The 36-year-old was solid for the worst team in baseball in 70 games this year, slashing .266/.330/.380 with five home runs, 19 RBI, six stolen bases and 33 runs scored in an everyday role. Pham will be joining a team in contention for a wild-card spot in the National League, but it remains to be seen if he'll see regular playing time like he did in Chicago. At the very minimum, he should play regularly against lefty pitchers in a much better Cardinals lineup.
