He played admirably against the Kansas City Royals. That team is said to be interested in the seasoned outfielder. Tommy Pham, an outfielder with the Chicago White Sox, had a nice series versus Kansas City, with five hits, two doubles, and an RBI.
It’s a good impression to make with a team allegedly interested in the veteran outfielder. While dealing inside the division is not ideal, Pham is on a one-year contract and was signed by the White Sox with the intent of being traded before the trade deadline. So he should go to any team willing to give him a prospect like the one the New York Mets got from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks sent teenage shortstop Jeremy Rodriguez in that deal, and while he will not help the Mets right away, he has already risen to No. 13 among their top 30 prospects. The White Sox must add more prospects with a high ceiling rather than a low floor. Getting what would amount to what is a considered a scratch-off lottery ticket type prospect would be a good return for Pham. Even getting a prospect that can turn out to be a high-leverage reliever like what the White Sox got for Robbie Grossman would be a solid return.
Here are three potential trade packages from the Royals in their pursuit of Tommy Pham… Ramirez is already the Royals’ 13th-ranked prospect, so this is a leap of logic. The logic is that the Diamondbacks traded a prospect who, like Ramirez, is a teenager and now ranks as the Mets’ 13th-best prospect. So why not skip ahead to the Royals’ 13th-best prospect?
He has a very good swing, with a.268 average and a.853 OPS in the Complex League. It is always a smart idea to stock up on catchers, shortstops, pitchers, and center fielders.
My colleagues at Kings of Kauffman, Jacob Milham and Mike Gillespie, have informed me that Ramirez is highly thought of The organization. It would be a stretch for the Sox to get him. But it can’t harm to beg for him.
