Foul Territory

Free agent outfielder Tommy Pham joins FT just days after opting out of his deal with the Orioles. He explains how a season with no real spring training threw off his timing, and why he still believes he can help a contender right now.
Pham also sounds off on MLB roster construction under the current CBA and whether handing young players longer leashes is quietly costing teams wins. Plus, as a former teammate and close friend of Ketel Marte, what's his take on the reaction to Marte's recent day-off request?

FT Senior Insider Ken Rosenthal has the latest on the Giants testing the trade market with some of their bigger names. He also breaks down the Phillies' outfield issues, what the Padres' lack of hitting means for their deadline expectations, and Ken weighs in on whether Chaim Bloom deserves more recognition for his work. Is it finally time for the White Sox to make a move at the deadline, or would that be a mistake?
