Tommy Pham News
The Boston Red Sox declined outfielder Tommy Pham's one-year, $12 million team option Monday, per the Athletic's Chad Jennings. The veteran was traded from the San Diego Padres during the 2022 season and ended up with a .236/.312/.374 slash line, 17 home runs, 63 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 622 total plate appearances. Pham has shown an intriguing combination of power and speed at times throughout his career, but he has not been able to combine those skills with a decent batting average for the past several seasons. He will be a free agent heading into the off-season.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tommy Pham was scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday in the season finale against the Tampa Bay Rays due to an undisclosed reason. We'll likely have a reason for Pham's absence at some point, but the 34-year-old will finish his season with a .236/.312/.374 slash line with 17 home runs, 63 RBI, 89 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 622 plate appearances and 144 games with the Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds. In his 53 games with Boston, he went 50-for-214 (.234) with six homers, 24 RBI, 32 runs and a steal. With Pham being scratched, Abraham Almonte took over in left field and hit ninth in the batting order against Rays left-hander Josh Fleming on Wednesday.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tommy Pham is back in the team's lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the Baltimore Orioles. Pham got the day off on Monday but will hit leadoff on Tuesday against the Orioles and right-hander Kyle Bradish. He'll start in left field. The veteran outfielder is batting .244 this season with a .317 on-base percentage, 17 home runs, and eight stolen bases in 593 plate appearances.

In his first year with the Padres, outfielder Tommy Pham had a brutal season primarily due to a broken hamate bone which kept him out from mid-August until the last week of the season. In just 125 plate appearances, Pham posted a mediocre .211/.312/.312 line with three home runs and 12 RBI. Despite the results, other than a large launch angle decline, Pham's power and plate discipline metrics essentially remained consistent with his solid 2017-2019 campaigns. In addition, prior to 2020, for three straight seasons, Pham hit at least 21 home runs while also stealing at least 15 bases. Further, he was one of only nine players to hit more than 20 HR and steal more than 20 bases in 2019, despite battling a number of injuries that year also. Given the hamate injury, the very small sample size, and the fact that Pham also tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the season, it would be hard to put much stock in his 2020 performance. In light of consistent production in his three prior seasons and underlying hitting metrics, a rebound for Pham is likely. With an ADP of 120, Pham makes for a great value pick in 2021. If healthy, Pham should reward managers with a 20-20 season and a batting average above .270 (in line with his 2017-2019 campaigns) hitting in a potent Padres lineup.
