The Royals are dead last in offensive production from the outfielders, who have collectively hit .210/.270/.345 this year. J.J. Picollo recently talked about lengthening his lineup with another bat, and according to reporter Jon Heyman, White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham is a name they are considering.
The 36-year-old has been a career .260/.351/.433 hitter in 11 big leagues seasons. Last year he hit .256/.328/.446, and was acquired mid-season by the Diamondbacks, who went to the World Series. Despite that, he found it difficult to get contract offers this past off-season, and signed a one-year, $3.
