MIAMI – Cincinnati Reds general manager Nick Krall called left fielder Tommy Pham one of the hardest workers he has been around in the clubhouse. But with the Reds rebuilding, Krall traded Pham to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night for a player to be named later.
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, and the Red Sox will pick up about $2.1 million for the remainder of his salary.
