Pham, 36, has played for nine different clubs over just shy of 10 full seasons, including three teams last season - the Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Kansas City Royals - when he batted a combined .248 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs in 116 games.
In 1,121 career games, Pham has batted .258 with 139 home runs and 470 RBIs after starting his career by playing parts of his first five seasons with the Cardinals. He finished as high as 11th in National League MVP voting in 2017 while with St. Louis.
Just shy of multiple milestones, Pham needs 15 hits for 1,000, 11 home runs for 150, 30 RBIs for 500 and 17 doubles for 200. The Las Vegas native also has nine years and 92 days of official service time.
