is on the open market for a third consecutive season. The veteran outfielder is in a better spot than he had been from 2021-22, as hes coming arguably his best year since 2019. In an appearance on the with Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman, Pham said his representatives at Vayner Sports have had conversations with roughly 10 teams. While he said he has yet to receive an official offer, Pham indicated that interest is far more robust than it was last offseason. The righty-hitting outfielder told Heyman and Sherman that he heard from just three teams before he signed a $6MM Jerian Grant Jersey guarantee with the Mets in the middle of January. Pham unsurprisingly didnt name any of the clubs that have checked in. He suggested hes seeking an opportunity to continue playing on an everyday basis. I dont view myself as a platoon player , he replied when asked about his free agent priorities. Im not comfortable going into a situation where theyre saying hey, youre only going to play against lefties. I still want to play every day. Thats most important to me. Then winning, of course. Landing a job as a teams primary left fielder seems attainable after Phams solid performance in 2023. He hit .256/.328/.446 with 16 home runs through 481 plate appearances. As he has throughout his career, he posted strong exit velocities. Phams respective 9.8% walk rate and 22% strikeout percentage werent far off the league averages. He also stole 22 bases in 25 attempts and rated as a neutral corner outfield defender. Phams offensive production was balanced. He hit for more power against left-handed pitching but had a higher batting average and on-base mark against same-handed arms. His .262/.332/.435 slash versus righties and .245/.322/.465 showing against southpaws arent that di similar. Phams production was concentrated more heavily early in the season. He hit .268/.348/.472 for the Mets before running a .241/.304/.415 line upon being dealt to the Diamondbacks on deadline day. Pham ran a .279/.297/.475 slash over 16 postseason contests during the Snakes run to the World Series. Turning 36 in March, the 10-year MLB veteran may again be limited to one-year offers. He should at least find a loftier guarantee than last years $6MM figure and a two-year pact isnt entirely implausible. Phams old teams in Queens and Arizona each have questions about their left field situations. The Braves, Nationals, Twins, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Mariners and Yankees are among other speculative suitors for corner outfield help. Bruno Caboclo Jersey
