White Sox Make a Late Push, Adding Veteran Bats Tommy Pham and Jake Cave – WTOP News
The Sox added veteran right-handed bats Tommy Pham and Jake Cave as rosters expand, seeking more offense and playoff-tested depth.
- On Monday, the White Sox acquired outfielders Tommy Pham from the Phillies and Jake Cave from the Rays in trades for cash considerations, both eligible because neither was on a 40-man roster after Aug. 3.
- The acquisitions address a right-handed hitting shortage created when the Sox designated Everson Pereira and Austin Hays for assignment to make room for trade-deadline acquisition Brenton Doyle.
- Pham, 38, brings a.315 average in 37 career playoff games and a career.256 mark with 149 home runs and 522 RBIs, including a.796 OPS against left-handed pitching.
- Both veterans are eligible for the postseason after joining before Tuesday's roster expansion to 28 players, with Manager Will Venable calling Pham "one of my favorite players to coach."
- Cave, 33, returns to major league consideration after spending last season in South Korea and hitting.245 in 36 games with Triple-A Durham following his June signing with the Rays.
