Tommy Pham News
The New York Mets have reportedly agreed to terms with free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham on a one-year deal worth $6 million, per a tweet from the New York Post's Jon Heyman on Wednesday morning. Pham split the 2022 season with the Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox, hitting a cumulative .236 with a .312 on-base percentage, 17 home runs and eight stolen bases in 622 plate appearances. As of now, New York's current outfield options on the team's 40-man roster include Mark Canha, Brandon Nimmo, Khalil Lee, and Starling Marte. Pham will serve as New York's fourth outfielder and can provide some pop in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
With outfielder Andrew McCutchen returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the New York Mets are now considering free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham as their fourth outfielder, among others. Trey Mancini, Adam Duvall, Jurickson Profar and Tyler Naquin are other possibilities that remain on the open market. Pham became a free agent this offseason when the Boston Red Sox declined his $6 million mutual option for 2023. The 34-year-old hit a combined .236/.312/.374 with a .686 OPS, 17 home runs, 63 RBI, 89 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 622 plate appearances and 144 combined games for the Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds in 2022. He's no longer the on-base machine he used to be in his prime, but he'd make for a decent fourth outfielder for the Mets.
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.

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.
