Is Tommy Pham Coming?

January 6, 2024

The Tommy Pham rumor is gaining teeth. Tommy admitted that he wanted to come to LA last season, but it never worked out. It didn’t work out because the Dodgers were not committed to playing Mookie Betts full-time at 2B. They are now! Jason Heyward is the only right fielder they really have. Manual Margot is better situated for CF, so Tommy Pham would be a great platoon partner with…
