Red Sox to acquire Tommy Pham

[JDavis76]

I dont care how good he is, and he's not very good, I am not rooting for a dude who jerks off in public.

I’m dying laughing but it’s more of like a Walter White maniacally laughing in the crawl space because everything is going to hell kinda laugh. The Red Sox just traded for WHO?!? He did WHAT?!?

[redsoxrules]

Maybe Phem goes to LF, they try Verdugo back in Center, and the team dumps JBJ next. As horrible as JBJ is someone would give something for a replacement CF for the PS, even if it’s just eating some of the money.

 

Verdugo in center would be disaster. He sucks playing LF as it is.

I was dying laughing at twitter when I saw it all unfolding. I was pretty speechless

With pham and the pee wee herman catcher they just acquired, the sox are that much closer to becoming the Oakland Raiders of MLB.....

Yup, but hey so is JBJs bat in the lineup

At least Sox two great individuals in Pham and McGuire. One punches people over fantasy football and the other has been arrested for publicly masturbating

In October 2020 Tommy Pham suffered a serious injury in a stabbing outside a strip club in San Diego:

Pham has overcome obstacles in his life:

That was quite the 7-2 beatdown.

I suggested we might be buyers and sellers, but I never expected we'd buy a LF rental.

 

The Vaz deal looks like we might have done okay.

Be fair. It was Joc Pederson. You would have done it, too…

Seems like someone is a little crabby for being in 4th place now…

Good thing you deleted that post......

Who's in 4th place?

notin is in fourth place in the TalkSox fantasy league after having a spat about "actually" being in first place and stating that he'd be in first place at the very end anyway.

Nice, how many are in the league?

Pham looks like Babe Ruth compared to the non-Verdugo incumbents in the OF. And I think there is at least a decent chance the option is picked up.

I did not know about the option, but I've been arguing we have 2 LF-ONLY OF'ers on the team that is in desperate need of a CF/RF'er. Now, we have 3.

 

Maybe we extend Pham and trade Duran & Dudo. Make it 3D: Duran, Dugo & Dalbec!

Maybe it's just for a platoon since he's RHB.

 

wRC+ vs LHP 131

it is a mutual option at $6M ... so Pham might turn it down ... but I think there is a decent chance both sides are okay with going forward

I think most mutual options are dropped for whatever reason. We'll see what happens.

Bloom is trying to thread a needle here. Pham is an upgrade offensively to JBJ yet McGuire is a downgrade offensively from Vaz. He is still staying true to his word that he wants to stay competitive. Today could change all that

No matter what happens, half of the board will be pissed off at Bloom. One poster will state that the Sox are the worst organization of all time and no player should ever want to play for them. Some will utlimately be supportive of Bloom and trust the plan. Some will be critical, but support the overall plan and be somewhat in the middle of the spectrum.

The best are the ones who say no team will ever want to play for the Sox. Because experience has taught us all that every one of the29 other teams is so much nicer to its players…

Soto and Bell to the Padres. Pham and Maguire to the Sox! ... RS also reportedly interested in a .147 hitting OFer DFA from Rays. Once again, I can only say "WE'RE SAVED!" Edited August 2, 2022 by jad

There’s no irony in people complaining about bolstering the farm and also complaining that other teams are able to swing deals for superstar talent.

 

None at all…

How can another team play for the sox? Is there a proposed merger we don't know about?

Pham has acted like a psycho throughout his career, not just the slapping incident. I can’t see this working out.

Maybe he will bite Aaron Judge in the kneecap during the next meeting of these two teams

He does seem like a pretty volatile guy. The bloody brawl outside a strip club was pretty ugly.
