Pham must have a great agent…
Per The Athletic’s Katie Woo, the Pirates have signed OF Tommy Pham to a one-year, $4 million contract. The contract is a major-league deal, with an additional $250,000 in incentives.
If that’s the case, they are morons. You don’t bring in Bregman to not have money to extend Tucker. I would sooner throw Matt Shaw to the fire and start him at 3B than sign Bregman.
Hoyer and crew actually spending some money. The deal doesn’t sound that bad for a 4 WAR player, even if he declines. He’ll probably still be good for at least half of the contract.

The Sox signed their RF platoon of Tauchman and Slater for a combined $3.7 million. I think I’d rather have Hays alone for $5 million, as I think he would have been a better flip candidate.
This is the impressive thing to me. Think about how good he is in his current puffier version of himself. Imagine if he did get in really good NBA shape?
I am not a huge fan of Lux like Harold. While he is a pretty good player, the two years of control don’t make any sense for the Sox. But it might take Vargas a 15-year ironman career to accumulate 7.6 bWAR like Lux.
