If Pham gets called up to the team’s major league roster, he’d be on a $2. 25 million salary with a potential $850k in bonuses, and he has an April 25 opt-out clause.
Pham is perhaps best known to Mets fans as a player who called his teammates with the 2023 Mets the “least-hardest working group of position players I’ve ever played with. ” In his stint with the Mets that year, Pham fared well, hitting . 268/.
348/. 472 with a 124 wRC+ and 1. 4 fWAR in 264 plate appearances.
That led to the Mets trading him to the Diamondbacks for minor league infielder Jeremy Rodriguez at the deadline that year. His comments about his then-former teammates came later that season. Since that trade, however, Pham hasn’t hit as well as he did with the Mets.
