2) Tommy Pham

Canha has played for four teams in two seasons. So had Tommy Pham. He is no stranger to trade deadline deals. Dealt in 2018, 2022, 2023, and now 2024, he went from the lowly Chicago White Sox to the overachieving St. Louis Cardinals whose time may be running out. One of the National League’s worst run differentials, Pham was a trade deadline addition to try to ignite a struggling offense.

An early grand slam in his first game back with the Cardinals has made up the bulk of his offense. He’s slashing .245/.327/.469 overall after 55 trips to the plate. A pair of home runs and 10 RBI have been added in as well. He has been a bit chilled of late as have the Cardinals. The last time he played in a game where they won was on August 9th.

Pham should be used to losing by now. In games he has played, the White Sox and Cardinals have combined to go 26-59. We’ll round this up to a .306 winning percentage. It’s better than the .238 the White Sox have this year. It’s worse than every other ball club.
