MIAMI – About 24 hours before Tuesday's 6 p.m. trade deadline, the Cincinnati Reds are finalizing a trade to send left fielder Tommy Pham to the Boston Red Sox. The return to the Reds wasn't immediately known.
Pham was scratched from the Reds' lineup minutes before the first pitch Monday in Miami, and he was informed he was traded, according to a source.
He's eligible to become a free agent at the end of the season after he signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Reds during spring training, which includes a $6 million mutual option for the 2023 season and a $1 million buyout.
