doesn't appear to be, but what does being similar players have to do with the question? playing may be similar, but personality wise, not so much

Carry on

You can pretend they’re the same if you want. That’s a choice you’re making.

Hey AOF! I found another cancer!

Paul DeJong! 6 teams in 3 years. And he’s not a reliever so it checks out!

Randal Grichuk got a 5 year deal.

They are not similar players in terms of of where they were age wise when it came time for extensions or free agency. Grichuk was 27 when the Jays gave him that deal. Pham didn’t hit FA until he was 33, and age and his eye condition had to be major factors in why he never scored a long term deal… more so than his attitude, I’m sure.

The relief pitcher comp isn’t bad, considering where Pham has been in age and long-term viability over the last few years. Most competitive teams have younger players that they hope will be in their long term plans to start the season… not the type they want to block w/ a vet in his 30s. So it’s no mystery why teams gravitate towards guys like Pham when their prospects can’t cut it, or they want to add a bat for the stretch drive.

Plenty of guys with shitbucket attitudes get long-term contracts… because they’re younger and do not have degenerative eye conditions.

And don’t get stabbed… and in fights at strip clubs causing them to get stabbed again… and don’t slap players on the field over fantasy football… or feign JOing on the field at a fan.

But I digress.

You seriously think that’s a major factor in why Pham didn’t get a long term deal?

His on field scuffles were not common in his earlier years, so teams must have avoided him because he got stabbed?

Long term? I don’t consider a 2-3 year deal long term, and he didn’t get those, either. No one wanted to keep him around.

And they’re not gonna ish talk him because he’s a loose cannon and would probably stab them at some point. If you see a fire, you don’t throw gasoline on it to make it worse
