Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times is reporting that Padres free agent outfielder Tommy Pham is “willing to play first base if needed” for a team if that’s what it takes to get a contract after the lockout concludes. MLB Trade Rumors said in their article that Pham is specifically willing to play first for the Rays. With this said, I’d assume he’s also willing to play first for another contender if that means he gets more playing time.
However, playing first base for the Padres is not likely because Eric Hosmer, Jake Cronenworth, Wil Myers, Jorge Alfaro, and Austin Nola can all play the position already and are all on the roster at the moment.
