If player to be named later is correct then that'll basically confirm its not gonna be anyone all that worthwhile which is at least good news.

It's probably cash considerations. Maybe

They need to announce the player soon because I do not need endless speculation on who it might be.

Well he’s an outfielder with positive WAR, so that’s something
Just don’t let him be in a FF league with any of the guys we care about

We kind of knew the Sox would have a bunch of fringe guys with a 40-man problem, didn’t we?
I certainly have no prob with this on paper. Just… did it have to be Pham?

Makes sense. Probably a guy they'd expose to the rule 5 draft if not traded away. I will guess its Christian Koss. With an OPS+ of 88, defensive limitations and his baggage I really have no idea why Bloom wants him. He will DH when JDM, so they go from Ortiz to a year of Hanley to JDM to....Pham. talk about a downgrade. Hope he's not around in 2023.

Gotta be some more trades coming, maybe they move JDM for prospects, get Pham for free, believe he can be 80% of JD the rest of the way? He doesn't seem like a guy who can play right in Fenway to me. All speculation just trying to guess at what the overall deadline plan is. Get under cap. And stay somewhat competitive.

Kinda glad to have his aggression now that I think of it, he’s not gonna let Manoah act out of pocket when he gets struck out by him

My PTBNL guess is one of the second tier AAA/AA relievers (Feltman, Politi, Wallace, Thompson, etc)

Pham doesn't seem like a guy who can realistically replace Refsnyder in the field, so I have to lean toward the idea that he's a backup plan at DH if JD is moved.
On the other hand, he's crushing LHP this year and Duran is helpless against them...

Is Pham the craziest player we’ve had since Alfredo Aceves? Am I missing anyone in between?

I'm kind of getting the thought that the Pham trade might be being eyed as an audition for next season and he may be in the plans if he can handle Boston as a DH/LF platoon partner. He's at .8 WAR, if he continues that pace and puts up a 1.2 WAR season and can do something similar next season he'd pretty easily be worth picking up his 6 Mil option rather than buying him out for 1.5.
I don't always if ever put much stock in the ZIPS projections but they have him at a projected 1.7 WAR for 2023. He'd probably make a solid platoon partner with Verdugo/Duran.
