MIAMI – About 24 hours before Tuesday's 6 p.m. trade deadline, the Cincinnati Reds were finalizing a trade to send left fielder Tommy Pham to the Boston Red Sox for a player to be named later, sources confirmed to The Enquirer.
Pham was scratched from the Reds' lineup minutes before the first pitch Monday in Miami, and he was informed he was traded.
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.
