Tommy Pham has officially signed a one-year contract with the Pirates and has been added to the 40-man roster. In a corresponding move, Dauri Moreta has been placed on the 60-day IL.
This move makes sense. I asked Ben Cherington about Moreta on Friday and he said Moreta wasn't in a position to compete for the Opening Day roster but was on track with his rehab after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2024. So, this move makes Pham's signing official less than 24 hours before the first official team workout.
