Tommy Pham stands as one of the better outfielders still on the open market. With Spring Training a couple weeks away, the 10-year MLB veteran is fielding interest from a handful of teams.
Juan Toribio of MLB.com tweets that eight-plus clubs remain in contact with Pham’s camp. Jon Heyman of the New York Post indicates the Red Sox have some degree of interest. Boston chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said last month the team was open to adding a right-handed hitting outfielder, making that a natural fit.
Pham is headed into his age-36 campaign. He’s coming off a productive year split between the Mets and eventual NL champion Diamondbacks. Pham hit 16 homers with a combined .256/.328/.446 batting line through 481 plate appearances in the regular season. He stole 22 bases in 25 attempts with slightly better than average walk and strikeout rates (9.8% and 22%, respectively). He made hard contact — an exit velocity of 95 MPH or better — on nearly half his batted balls.
As Arizona made their surprising run to the Fall Classic, Pham chipped in a .279/.297/.475 line with a trio of homers across 16 postseason games. It was a solid finish to his most productive season since 2019. He paired that well-rounded showing at the plate with league average defensive marks in a bit more than 500 innings of left field work.
That performance should at least secure Pham another decent salary on a one-year contract, although it might not be enough for a multi-year deal at his age. He has signed one-year deals in each of the last two offseasons. He inked a $7.5MM guarantee with the Reds going into 2022 and a $6MM contract with the Mets last winter. His camp should look to beat those numbers off a superior platform showing than he had in either of the previous two free agent trips.
Pham finished the ’22 campaign in Boston, as Cincinnati dealt him to the Red Sox at the deadline. While the Sox have since changed front office leaders, manager Alex Cora and much of the roster is familiar with Pham from that previous stint. Boston has swapped in Tyler O’Neill for Alex Verdugo this offseason. O’Neill joins Masataka Yoshida, Jarren Duran, Rob Refsnyder and young players Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela in the outfield mix.
Ask him not to join fantasy football leagues and you should be fine.
Hope the Pirates sign him.
Want them to sing, “We are Pham-ily”
Manny you should be ashamed of yourself. LOL
I think that is not only a good idea.
It’s a Phamtastic idea!!
Or frequent gentleman’s clubs. This guy is full of drama.
Vegas – The ability to survive knife attacks makes him a perfect fit for the White Sox.
How about his ability to prompt knife attacks?
Good season for Pham in 2023

Cardinals did an amazing job turning the trade of Tommy Pham into absolutely nothing.
Common theme with them, eh?
That was also after years of jerking him around in AAA until he finally got to play his first full MLB season at age 28. They used to be a well run organization, pretty much running the NL Central for the better part of 2 decades, but over the last several years they’ve made dumber and dumber decisions.
Actually not jerking him around in the minors the Cards suppprted him while he was having issues with eyesight and stabilizing them. He was also injured a lot. He’s spoke highly of the team because most teams would have let him go. Nice try hater. Facts are facts
asdfgh – If you really want to talk about jerking around, look no further than McGuire.
To come into a random threads to take shots at random RS players is a little weak.
I’ll allow it. Reese did it to himself (ba dum tiss).
Joe – Get a hold of yourself, nobody was hit with any shots.
Well they got the oddity of seeing Roel Ramirez put up an 81.00 era in 2 consecutive years which was neat. But his 62 fip suggests he was better.
I don’t think he hits quite enough to end up on a contender…
As a backup, sure, but I doubt he’ll settle.
Texas lost Garver. They have more info on their 2024 payroll situation and he’d be a cheaper 1 year get.
So a good fit then for the Red Sox.
We were told a million times that the priority was starting pitching and a power right-handed bat. We abandoned need 1, and we are now down to settling for Pham? Why even bother spending the money? Just let prospects play for league minimum with roughly the same results. If the prospect fails all together at least they get some experience, and we were coming in last anyway.
Note to Red Sox. You are unwilling to spend the money for true elite players. You’re better off doing nothing and playing your farm system than spending millions here and there bringing mediocre after mediocre players in to make zero difference. You are a last place team, you know it, and we know it. Just say it, be done with it, play the prospects, and collect your high draft pick the next couple of years.
William – This is the most frustration I’ve ever seen from you, and I can totally relate.
I’ll believe the Sox are interested in any of these players when they actually sign them. Were there any articles about the Sox having interest in Giolito or O’Neill or Grissom? Seems like when they are truly serious about a player, there are no leaks.
Fever – Great point and William I feel your pain.
I’m curious. Do either of you see the Theo change as something that will impact Breslow or not?
I hope it’s the event he’s been waiting for to have the backing to make the changes needed but then I think that’s just me being optimistic. Does he gain power as a “theo guy” and can he now fire Cora? Or will the status quo continue?
What a mess!!!
TF – Thank you, and yes I just posted my thoughts on that subject in the Theo thread.
Theo will be a HUGE help in mentoring Breslow. I’ve said over and over, Theo was surrounded by a group of highly experienced and knowledgeable front office guys when he first became GM. However neither Bloom nor Breslow had anything similar, until now.
Unfortunately Theo won’t have any say in increasing the budget, but perhaps he could convince Henry to replace Cora with Tek … or David Ross?
As far as a trusted mentor for Breslow that can help him, I cannot imagine a better fit. It is always good to have a sharp guy like this that you have history with to use to bounce ideas off of. Breslow is smart, but he is also a rookie at his job. There is a lot that goes into his job beyond what most people think under the best of circumstances.
Theo was there a fairly good amount of time and doing that same job beyond the Sox. I like it if they are bringing him on board to help Breslow. That would have been my thinking if I was management. Rather than look like they keep hiring deer in the headlights they may be able to mold Breslow, or at least give him a full understanding now of what he does, and what he needs to do going forward to become better.
I do not believe he will fire Cora. We would have seen it already. I am not a Cora backer by any stretch, but it may not be that he wants to fire Cora either. We won’t know that unless he says it at some future date what the deal was with him picking his manager one way or the other, and I don’t think we ever will.
It is a mess, but it seems far worse than it is because they are never straight with their fans. I can clearly see what they are doing, but they send the opposite message out, and it is very frustrating to hear what they say because it makes them look like incompetent fools, and liars. The smart move after building such a broken roster was to reset as a franchise. Tear down the payroll, invest in the entire system for scouting and player development. Build the farm and retool completely for an eventual spending spree to place elite players on the field again. They tried to tear it down and patch work it instead with mediocrity. The worst of both worlds operating still on a high payroll. It was baffling whenever you listened to them make any public messaging. Unless like me, you know they are lying. They are well aware this team now stinks, and the cost to fix it with any timing towards competing again won’t work unless they make serious investments that they know will most likely still fall short of the playoffs. The division is better today than it was when they were good, and they are far worse.
Fever, unless ownership has a true undisclosed plan, I don’t see why Theo agrees. As for apgam, been there, done that. Would rather have Duvall back.
William-With respect to Cora I think forcing your friends to be coaches under him is like giving them a root canal. I can’t possibly see how a pitching coach could enjoy the undermining decisions Cora makes on his own or the back stabbing he will do to the coaches to ownership.
Having the GM, Manager and both the pitching and hitting coaches on the same page is something every GM wants. To deny Breslow that opportunity certainly makes the job less enjoyable.
If he can’t be fired then the team will not progress even with better personnel. His daily mistakes make it hard for a team to win with him in the dugout.
The team for me doesn’t stink, it has a few devastating weaknesses. Cora is foremost. Devers at 3B is also completely debilitating and not having a SP1 and SP2 to put in front of Bello, Houck and Crawford in the rotation is a huge problem that creates horrendous match-ups versus good teams in the AL East and around the MLB. The balanced schedule helps a bit but there are lots of better teams in other divisions too.
Fix those few things and this team can win 90 or more games. Leave them as is and expect 75 wins at most.
FPG…. Prepare your good-byes for Kennedy. You’re looking at next year’s President/CEO of the Red Sox.
Remember! I called it!
William – Great post as always!
I often point out the difference between knowledge and intelligence. Breslow has the intelligence, but not the knowledge. Theo has the knowledge. And they are both against the over-use of analytics. So all in all, yes a great pairing.
As for Cora, I should have made more clear that I didn’t mean he could be fired now. I know that will never happen. I truly believe if he starts the season without an extension, he will need to at least have a winning record this year to retain his job. Otherwise he could be replaced by Tek mid-season, or either Tek or Ross after the season.
Remember, neither Breslow nor Theo have ties to Cora … but they both have strong ties to Ross and Tek.
Speaking of Ross, what are your thoughts on him? Do you consider him a good manager?
dewey – Theo agrees with what?
Agreed on Duvall, he is my top choice followed closely by Soler.
TF – You just came up with the PERFECT slogan for the Red Sox 2024 campaign!
“Come enjoy The Fenway Experience, the Red Sox don’t stink”.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
DBH – I hope you’re right, as I’m not a Kennedy fan.
How would it happen? A vote of the board members? I don’t think Henry can make the decision on his own.
There are two reasons why I remain skeptical:
1) Theo and Sam are best buds going back to Brookline High, so Theo replacing him seems like a stretch.
2) I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that Theo would take over as Prez/CEO if Henry continues to be a cheapass tightwad. Henry would need to return to big spending for Theo to consider the position.
I tell ya what …. let’s see which of the following happens this year. If you’re right about Theo/Kennedy, you win. If I’m right about Cora/Tek/Ross (assuming another losing season with no contract extension) then I win.
Deal?
It may be “few” weaknesses, but they are not small. Two top of the rotation arms? Those pretty much have to come from within, because most FAs become albatross contracts pretty quick, and Boston really doesn’t have the will to trade from its top prospects. Devers, Casas and Yoshida all are DHs. That’s a big problem, too, because their pride will make them unhappy at DH. Its never fun going thru a rebuild, but just throwing money at the problem is how they got the Devers and Story contracts. Do it the right way, and it will be less painful.
Ross has a good head for the game. He didn’t come off as an exceptional manager or a terrible one. He came off as a new manager learning on the job. Like most do the first time they do anything.
I watch a ton of games on the MLB package. Literally hundreds a year. If a game is on, my tv is on with the game on. There were some rookie mistakes, some unfortunate situations where his emotions got ahead of him in front of the team, and some clever moves. If you put him in charge of a team and left him there for a few years he would evolve into a very good manager. Ross comes off to me as the kind of guy that would fix his flaws and learn from mistakes. I would love to have him lead the Red Sox………….once he has gone through that evolution. A big market team should really never have to settle for rookie GM’s or managers. If they do, they should be in the system already for years and be able to seamlessly take over. The Red Sox hires have been troubling for a while. Not because I think the people were bad, or incompetent when they were hired. I felt they were bad hires because they were outsiders that had no idea about the team, system, past plans, future plans, or had any experience in doing what they were about to do.
One scenario that was left out. Perhaps Kennedy has mentioned he may want to leave eventually and asked for his friend to come in and replace him. I have no idea, but it would a preferred way for a guy that has been with the franchise for a while to see he is replaced with a person he likes and trusts.
People keep talking about trades and it has never been too realistic for any truly elite players. Our system is not nearly as strong as it looks. Keep in mind that under the best of circumstances most prospects do not pan out. Only a few become difference makers, let alone all-star players. I know some of the top guys will make the team out of need, but you are more likely to get 100 Sam Horns for every Ellsbury, and 20,000 Frankie Rodriguez’s for every Mookie Betts.
The Red Sox have nearly no one in the minors they feel will impact the pitching rotation, or the bullpen with certainty, nor should they. If a couple pan out that would be a major victory with what we have in house right now.
On the hitting side we “HOPE” we have between 3 to 5 guys that we can count on to make it to the MLB team. Out of those 5 perhaps none become impact players. Trading from that group without a magic 8 ball may leave the franchise farm system stripped down to only a couple of real potential players. On the flip side, I am always more inclined to trade for a known quantity than a pipe dream. We all know that is probably the better route, but you also have to risk ending your career on an Anderson for Bagwell deal.
William: In my opinion, I don’t think the Red Sox will ever tell the world exactly what their plans are. It would be a mistake for their competitors to know their plans. I don’t pay attention to what people say. I pay attention to what they do. So, I don’t take seriously what the Red Sox say or what reporters say. That is why you see me on here guessing at what is really going on.
On the flip side, I am always more inclined to trade for a known quantity than a pipe dream.
==============================
I lean more heavily on timing. When DD swung the Sale trade, the timing was impeccable. Unless it was an absolute swindle, there is -0- chance I’d trade a real prospect for a rental. At least not this year.
Casas will play a good 1st base. Devers will be great at DH Big Papi like! Move Yoshida,
Fever – Yeah I suppose that’s better than
Come to Fenway to see some of the Red Sox devastating holes!!! hahahaha
Joe – The trick is to get consensus on a real prospect.
I would trade any prospect not named Anthony, Rafaela or Duran (if he’s still considered a prospect) or Teel if it meant a guy with proven abilities at the all-star level like Burnes.
Burnes was a 3.5 bWAR player last year, and 4.0 in the prior year. I expect him to be good this year, but I wouldn’t trade Mayer’s promise for even a 4.0 SP.
And the BA package was the equivalent Rafaela + Yorke.
I agree completely. You don’t trade a couple top 5 prospects and more for a possible 1-year rental, or someone who has made it clear they will be going free agent no matter what.
I am talking generally about what you may think you have vs what you have seen a person prove to be from performance.
William – Good point, I guess it’s possible.
Joe – Did you know your idol Theo traded Gleybor Torres, Adam Warren and Billy McKinney for 3 months of Aroldis Chapman.
Just checking.
Fever – Did they win a ring? McKinney sucks, Warren sucks and Torres waffles between pretender and all-star. I’ll take the ring for that deal especially when a ring was so overdue.
Fever: I agree with KD. The trade helped win a World Series. Strange you are ripping Theo. I don’t get it.
TF – I mention that trade only as a response to Joe saying he would never trade a real prospect for a rental.
Not only was it for just 3 months of Chapman, but Torres was rated 27th in MLB and McKinney was also Top 100.
Joe thinks Theo is the GOAT and yet he did exactly what Joe said should never be done. Gotta love the irony!
suit – Please follow the dialogue, I’m not ripping the trade or Theo.
I’m just calling out someone’s hypocrisy.
Fever: I see it now. You were not ripping Theo.
Theo had one mandate, and one mandate only. World Series ring. If the Cubs were not in striking distance, he never in a million years makes that trade. In hindsight he makes that trade 100 out of 100 because it resulted in a world series win, the fans got the ring after 108 years, and he met his mandate.
There are very specific moments where the results mean more and justify the irrational micro decisions to achieve them.
Man this sounds like the Giants.
Padres need to get him back.
He would like the chance to get back to Pacers!
Haha! Isn’t that the strip joint where he was stabbed in the parking lot at 3am? Not a guy I’d bring back.
Back to? More like back at!!! Nobody lets Tommy Pham get stabbed in a parking lot fool!
If Pads sign him, they should also bring back Luke Voit as Tommy’s personal hitting coach
Him and the dbacks are a match made in heaven
Not with Joc there now!
He’s already had been on the losing side of a knife attack here in SD, Been here, done that.
I wish my jays signed him for 2 and 15 not IKF, he’ll even 2/20 or 22 would be fine. They need a RHH OF to platoon for LHP, that’s all phams value is now. Then insurance for injuries as well
POINT OF CONFUSION – Why does Anthony Franco keep suggesting the outfield is going to be Yoshida, Duran and Refsnyder?
Tony, may I call you Tony, did you see Rafaela and Abreu play last year? Yoshida can’t field and since Devers isn’t going to his rightful position at DH it has to be Yoshida at DH not left field. Devers and Yoshida are by far the worst fielders on the team except for Cora, he sucks at that too.
Lets not do any stories until a REAL acquisition happens. Lets do one poll tomorrow and have it be everyone guessing the date of the next all-star acquisition by the Boston Red Sox.
That will get lots of feedback and be a heck of a lot more fun than hearing about guys that suck like Tommy Pham!!!
TF – Ha! I always call him Tony, every Anthony I’ve ever known is called Tony.
I really think Ref should be on a short leash, if he’s no better than last year then cut him loose by the All-Star break.
What amazes me is Ref came up a second baseman and last year they didn’t even put him there against a lefty. Turner was there and he wasn’t. Ref is a good 25th man on a contender but on the Sox in 24, he’s taking a job of a kid that needs to learn.
dewey – He’s played a grand total of 17 games at 2B, back in 2015-2017. I’m guessing he sucked at the position.
I don’t think they want to eat his $2M contract, not yet anyway.
I don’t get what any fascination is with Ref every season.
33 years old. Will have received +8 mil after next year in total earnings.
Over 1,000 mlb plate appearances over 8 years, seldom plays any baseball. Between Mlb and Minors, averages around 200 plate appearances a year.
I do think Ref has value. But how he is “pencilled” in as a starter every year, (or 4th OF) is beyond insane.
There must be a better upside play.
And there usually is. He must super impress.
cad – The fascination, in the year prior to last season, was a 1.005 OPS against LHP and a respectable .792 OPS against RHP.
And he was under team control through this year.
Absolutely nobody questioned him being on the team in 2022.
But I am puzzled as to why they gave him the $2M extension last June when he was still under team control this year, unless the 2025 club option meant that much to Bloom. Obviously it turned out to be yet another Bloom Blunder.
Fever – You get 4 outfielders on your 26 man roster and several more on your 40 man roster. Ref belongs on the 40 but not the 26 man roster.
1 – Rafaela
2 – Duran
3 – Abreu
4 – O’Neill since we are stuck with him.
Anthony when he proves himself to start the 2024 season will be up pushing one of the four back to AAA.
Duvall and Ref are not as good as Rafaela, Duran and Abreu and depending on O’Neill neither might not be better than him either.
Duvall is Dalbec 10 years from now. We have the younger version who has had great segments to his career just like Duvall. He also has had great segments where he sucked just like Duvall. Duvall is wasted money but if the team isn’t going to compete, it really doesn’t matter. He’s not building the future so he’s hurting the present in my eyes.
Tommy Pham slashed to a 200-stitch WAR while with the Friars.
He then took a stab at a ring with a couple of other clubs (Mets, Reds, Pacers Int’l). His turn as a gadabout gay blade ended when he couldn’t hack it.
He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but plays ball with a razor’s edge and is never dull.
Either way you slice it, TP may play in 2024, may get cut, but the point is he can be counted upon to put up a real sword fight.
serge = Cut it out!!! Sorry all the sword analogies made me do it.
Pham can help teams depending on what they need. Boston doesn’t need him at all. Teams that are weak at the 4th outfield position might need him. He’s about as inconsistent as any fourth outfielder can be, much like Duvall, so you have to hope to need him when he’s hot otherwise he’ll bury you.
Pierce not my heart.
You were pointing at my frustration earlier, and you hit the target on that post. I would rather know nothing than hear stupidity. Half the “Sox are interested in” are completely useless players that would provide nothing of substance, and the rest were pipe dreams that never even received any formal offers.
If we are resetting the franchise either STFU, or just say so. Don’t tell me we are building a sustainable consistent winner after 3 last place finishes.in the last 4 years since you made that decree. This team is not competitive. All that good will was burned. People were running away from the GM job. Some MLB players are not even entertaining offers. The league wide impression of management is that it is inconsistent. Has no plan. There is no loyalty, and that the team will always look to lowball. A couple of the leaked offers this off season were not just laughable, they were insulting. This crap is what defines the team now. Like I said, this was a team that only a decade ago people would line up to play for and work for. I cannot think of a more efficient way of completely undermining themselves then what they pulled off at this speed. Truly impressive.
@William, I get what you are saying. I’ve said similar forever about other teams.
How often have you heard the current CEO of any organization give reality? Never.
The most is maybe from an owner, that says, yes we have made mistakes. But let us not dwell on it, because Now it is changing.
The job is not to provide reality or to educate fans.
They often earn millions, specifically NOT to drop perception in any way. To drop sales, stocks.
I get it, you feel like you should be valued better, and especially not taken as a token idiot.
My unfortunate take is, there are new suckers always that buy into the hype. This site and comments are an example of fan interaction and care.
It would be nice to hear reality. But not gonna happen. You still feel the way you feel.
cada – There are plenty of exceptions.
Kennedy did indeed say the payroll would probably be lower this year, gotta give him credit for honesty there even though it obviously wasn’t fans wanted to hear.
Publicly owned companies are required to provide truthful guidance at least quarterly. Elon Musk recently said several negative things about Tesla’s immediate future.
@William bottom line, pun intended, is they have killed the golden goose.
William – Decade ago? The Red Sox were a team players wanted to be on as recently as 5 years ago. It all went downhill in late 2019.
The speed with which Henry has destroyed this franchise is remarkable.
As for all the “Sox are interested in” articles, I would love to know if anyone has been keeping count.
Am I misremembering or have the Red Sox really signed just one free agent (Gio) that’s a guaranteed MLB player, and traded for maybe two (O’Neill & Grissom)?
Considering how bad the team was the past two seasons, this is the most pitiful offseason in my lifetime anyway.
I would love to see Pham back with the cardinals!!!!
Pham can hit a little bit and is not overmatched by elite pitching. That being said, his habit of running his mouth and trashing ex teams will probably lessen his market by a couple teams.
Pham would be a nice fit for my Phillies. However, I doubt he’s looking to sign where’s he’s the short side of a platoon. That’s what he’d initially be in Philly right now: Platooning with Marsh in LF.
However, Johan Rojas nailing down the everyday gig in CF is far from a slam dunk. Thus, in Philly, Pham could emerge as a regular. I like the guy a lot. Plays hard.
Average aging big league player with baggage. I just don’t know if the risk of temper tantrums are worth investing in him at this point. I guess it depends on how bad the team’s need is and how cheap they can get them for.
He’s calmed down a bit
Joc Pederson on line 1.
He has most certainly not calmed down any bits.
The current salary is about 180k or actually closer to 175K. Why bother with an aging 36 year old OF ? Soler is not going to cost 20-25K, but probably 15-17k a year and he is a slugger you need in the middle of that lineup, so the younger guys get better pitches. Why haven’t we signed Montgomery? 5-110K in that ballpark?? That would fill the team to actually being competitive if the youngsters perform. Salary cap is not an issue? what are we doing? rebuilding and don’t want to say it? They have been in on most free agents, and then backaway? why???
looking at what Boston has done, and they have 2 pieces that fit perfectly for the lineup and pitching, if they pass on them (Soler & Montgomery),then I am convinced they are going into a rebuild, but dont’ want to come out and say it. They are hoping the young talent will all live up to its hype. Breslow, convince me that is not the case!!!
Ownership has more mony then probably 30 of the teams, so the payroll, being around 180K, if that is not the issue.
I think Breslow has a handshake deal with MLBTR that has 2 provisions: 1) Any time any unsigned free agent is mentioned, indicate the Red Sox have interest, and 2) If you’re having a slow news day, just concoct a feature story about how BOS is hot on his trail and why he makes sense for them. Of course nothing will ever come of these articles, but BOS stays in the fan psyche without having to actually spend any money.
Pham to return to San Diego to replace Juan Soto in Left Field, and bat leadoff for us again?
Tommy Pham is too angry for San Diego. There simply isn’t room.
Kevin Mitchell – while well-diminished physically – still controls San Diego’s scary-angry market. Pretty much, ask anyone with whom he is in direct contact.
Lets open it up for the Phillie Phamatics.
Philly is the perfect fit for him. He can split time in left field with Brandon Marsh while Johan Rojas and marsh split center and left. It would give Marsh about 120 games, Rojas about 120 games, and Pham about 80 games plus a great right handed bat off the bench. Dombrowski has to wake up.
Marc – DD is far beyond you in baseball smarts. I thought your idea was dumb from the on set. Pham sucks. No consistency. Philly would be smart to stay away from him. Teams like the Yankees and Mets deserve him!!
You really do think your God‘s gift. You must be fun at the Thanksgiving table. You do realize this is supposed to be fun. We don’t make the decisions. It’s just about throwing stuff out there. So why don’t you take your happy pill, and just chill the F out
Redsox Nation is already in BOYCOTT mode…Pham would only justify an already justifiable BOYCOTT more so…
Pham is a joke. Duvall is a joke. Almost everyone rumored to be on their way to Boston by this crack set of reporters are a joke. Heck, O’Neill, Giolito and Grissom for $17MM are jokes.
Boston’s needs are obvious. To not fill them when you could is irresponsible. We are talking about 5 easy fixes. That’s it and they can win 95ish games. The money is there but the decision making abilities are gone. FIX THE PROBLEM. Find a GM who can execute his job and then do the 5 simple moves to turn things around.
1 – Fire Cora
2 – Move Devers to DH and trade Yoshida
3 – Acquire a SP1 and SP2
4 – Acquire a 3B
5 – Acquire two late inning left handed relievers.
SO SIMPLE YET SO DAUNTING FOR THE INEPT RED SOX FRONT OFFICE.
Can’t understand why, under any circumstances Boston would want Pham! Give his at bats to Refsnyder.
