White Sox Acquire Tommy Pham for Cash

The Chicago White Sox announced the acquisition of veteran outfielder Tommy Pham from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash considerations, with Pham expected to join the team when rosters expand on September 1. The 38-year-old spent most of this season in the minors with Lehigh Valley after a stint with the Mets and other clubs, posting a .772 OPS with three homers in 44 Triple-A games for the Phillies’ affiliate. Pham previously played for the White Sox in 2024, posting a .266/.330/.380 line with five homers and 19 RBIs in 70 games, and he brings playoff experience to a young, playoff-contending club. His addition provides veteran outfield depth and left-handed punch, with earlier reports noting he would be added to Chicago’s roster as rosters expanded. Pham’s career includes a productive 2023 postseason run in which he hit .421 in the World Series era of his career. The move follows ESPN's Jeff Passan reporting and underscores Pham's journeyman season across multiple organizations.
