White Sox trade for veteran OF Tommy Pham ahead of playoff push after minor league stints
Tommy Pham has been in the minor leagues since he was released by the Mets in April.
The Chicago White Sox have acquired veteran outfielder Tommy Pham from the Philadelphia Phillies ahead of their playoff push, according to Yahoo Sports. Pham, 38, was picked up in a trade with the Phillies on Monday, though the specific details of the deal are yet to be disclosed. Despite acquiring Pham after the trade deadline, he is eligible to play in the postseason as the trade was finalized ahead of the September 1 deadline.
Pham, who has played for four different organizations this season, including the Mets and the Orioles, has had a .250 batting average with three home runs and 25 RBI in 44 games for the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate. The White Sox, currently leading the AL Central with a 72-64 record, will now welcome Pham to their lineup as they aim to win the division and secure a playoff berth for the first time since 2021.
