The deal, pending physicals, will reportedly be
announced Friday.
Pham, who turns 32 in March, is coming off a strong campaign in
which he slashed .273/.369/.450 while hitting 21 home runs and
knocking in 68 runs in 145 games. Pham also stole 25 bases,
tying a career high.
Pham, who was dealt from St. Louis to Tampa bay during the 2018
season, had his best year in 2017, when he slashed
.306/.411/.520 with career highs of 23 homers and 73 RBIs,
finishing 11th in NL MVP voting.
He is a career .277 hitter across six seasons in the majors.
Renfroe, 27, spent his first four years in the majors with the
Padres, who drafted him 13th overall in 2013. He slashed
.216/.289/.489 last year with 33 homers and 64 RBIs in 140
games. The latter two figures represented career highs, but his
batting average was a personal low for the .235 career hitter.
Edwards, 20, was the Padres' fifth-ranked prospect after they
took him in the first round (38th overall) in 2018. He slashed
.322/.375/.396 across 123 games last season at two Class-A
levels.
Cronenworth, 25, was drafted by the Rays in the seventh round in
2015 and has served as an infielder and relief pitcher.
He slashed .329/.422/.511 in 91 games in the minors -- including
88 games at Triple-A Durham -- last season, while also making
seven appearances on the mound, allowing two unearned runs and
four hits in 7 1/3 innings.
