Among other notable right-handed bats moved at the deadline was Tommy Pham, who was traded from the New York Mets to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The veteran outfielder was in the midst of a strong season at the time of the deal and continued having success with his new team.
While speaking to reporters during a recent World Series media day, Pham said Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez urged the Dodgers to acquire him at the trade deadline, via Jorge Castillo of the L.A. Times:
Pham would fill the need for a corner outfield bat and had an elite batted ball profile during the year, which could both be of interest to the Dodgers.
