Tommy Pham to Tampa


Recommended Posts

Brewer Fanatic Contributor

Pham isn't a 'Cardinal Way' kind of player. He isn't afraid to speak his mind or criticize the organization - amongst other things.

 

His sub-par season is a perfect excuse for the Cardinals to get rid of him.

 

I'm sure Dexter Fowler would be gone too if they could find a taker for his big contract.

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets that the Rays will send outfielder Justin Williams, left-hander Genesis Cabrera and right-hander Roel Ramirez to the Cardinals in exchange for Pham and international bonus allotments.

Tommy refused a multi year deal at the end of last season. He was by far the team's MVP. He miscalculated. His bad base running (getting picked off, caught stealing, getting nailed at 3B trying to stretch a dbl. all seemed to come at the worst times) Reduced power, low BA too.

 

He could get away with bucking the FO when he was a star. He's FAR from that now. Being traded to the Rays in the AL East has to be one of the most brutal destinations for a man that wants to win. FO payback?

 

Now if they could figure out a way to move fowler.

Really didn't think the Cards were any good this year, but I'm glad they believed in all their fluke careers years from last year and doubled down on a weak core. Gonna be fun watching them flounder for years.
You're not far off. The franchise is flawed from top to bottom. Pixie dust eventually blows away.
