Red Sox Acquire Tommy Pham From Reds
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. It's unknown what the Reds are receiving in return. The Red Sox also sent catcher Christian Vazquez to the Houston Astros on Monday, so the Red Sox appear to be trying to walk the buy/sell tightrope this year. It remains to be seen if they will trade designated hitter J.D. Martinez before Tuesday's deadline. The 34-year-old Pham will head to Beantown after hitting .238/.320/.374 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 57 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 387 plate appearances over 91 games for the Reds. Pham's fantasy value shouldn't be affected by the move all that much, but if anything, he'll receive a slight boost while moving to a better Red Sox lineup.
