Reports: White Sox Acquire OF Tommy Pham From Phillies

The veteran outfielder gives Chicago postseason experience after hitting .315/.331/.492 in 37 playoff games, ESPN reported.

  • On Monday, the Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash considerations, with the 38-year-old veteran expected to join the club when rosters expand on Tuesday.
  • Pham remained eligible for the trade because he was not on a 40-man roster at the August 3 Major League Baseball trade deadline, which also secures his postseason roster eligibility.
  • Over 13 major league seasons, Pham has accumulated 149 home runs and 522 RBIs across 1,250 games, having split the 2026 season between the New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles, and Philadelphia Phillies.
  • The White Sox, currently leading the American League Central with a 72-64 record, add a postseason veteran to their roster; Pham has produced a.315 batting average over 37 career playoff games.
  • As rosters expand from 26 to 28 players on Tuesday, Chicago seeks its first playoff series win since the 2005 World Series, ending a 21-year postseason drought.
