RED SOX TRADE FOR TOMMY PHAM

The Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Cincinnati Reds for a player to be named later.

What does it give the Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox might use Pham in a platoon role down the stretch, though he is plenty capable of an everyday role. He could end up being a solid addition for Boston down the stretch.

What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds are not going to get much in return for their starting left-fielder, but this deal should provide opportunities for other Cincinnati outfielders. Pham was a good performer for the Reds.

Fantasy impact
Keep an eye on Pham's utilization in Boston, since he might see fewer at-bats with his new team.
