    Tommy Pham slaps Joc Pederson pregame over fantasy football beef

    Fantasy sports. Serious business


    Giants manger Gabe Kapler told reporters before the team's series opener against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night that MLB was investigating a pregame incident between Joc Pederson and Tommy Pham. Details are trickling out and the cause of the spat is about as wild and unexpected as one can imagine.G

    The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans and Andrew Baggarly reported, citing multiple sources, that Pham slapped Pederson "Will Smith-style," apparently in a dispute over the fantasy football league they both are in.
    Tommy Pham slapped Joc Pederson "Will Smith-style" during Reds batting practice on Friday, according to multiple sources. The Reds scratched Pham shortly before the game started at 8:48 after a rain delay https://t.co/sxHqurxcYi
    — C. Trent Rosecrans (@ctrent) May 28, 2022
    Players and coaches from both teams were seen running out to left field shortly after the altercation between Pederson and Pham happened.
    Pham was in the Reds' original starting lineup, slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat third. Rosecrans and Baggarly reported that the Giants requested that Cincinnati remove him from the lineup but were rebuffed.
    After a rain delay that last more than two hours, the Reds announced that Pham had been scratched from the lineup and replaced as the DH by Alejo López.

    Rosecrans and Baggarly reported that the Reds said Pham agreed not to play in the game while the league conducted its investigation.

    Pederson remained in the Giants' starting lineup, batting fourth and playing left field. He reached base on an infield single in his first at-bat of the game.
    When Kapler spoke to reporters at Great American Ball Park before the game, he said he likely would have more information during his postgame availability. With the two-plus hour delay, results of MLB's investigation will have to wait.



    Fantasy sports can be a contentious endeavor, but one MLB player slapping another is something we don't hear about every d

    Watch out tomorrow. He will get nailed in the head with a fastball. MLB players always retaliate.

    Pham said there was “too much money on the line” and “he was messing with my money”“I’m a big dog in Vegas. I’m a high roller at many casinos.”

    Pham is an absolute clown, he was here in San Diego and this guy has a bad attitude 24/7. I get that he has a chip on his shoulder about being in the minors too long and whatever else... that underdog stuff is endearing to a point. It's time to let all the anger go pal...

    I guarantee joc wasn’t doing anything to “mess with his money,” I mean if you’ve ever played fantasy football there’s always dumb fukks who don’t understand the rules and get all fukking weird about it, and I guarantee you that’s what was going on. That’s one reason why I only played one season, just brutal dealing with everyone bitching about everything all the time

    Yeah, Pham's slapping average will go up when he plays against some of these air bettors.

    Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout mum on fantasy football dispute, undecided on being league commissioner again

    NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is trying to steer clear of the fantasy football league dispute between Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham and San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson.
    After Pham told reporters on Tuesday that Trout was the "worst commissioner in fantasy sports" because he could have prevented the dispute between the two outfielders, Trout was asked on Wednesday to address whether Pederson broke the league's rules.
    The three-time MVP and nine-time All-Star kept his answer brief.
    "I ain't talking about fantasy football," Trout said before his team's game against the New York Yankees. "It's one of those things where everyone is competitive. Everybody loves fantasy football. Who doesn't?"

    How much salary did this bum lose in 3 games? Probably more than he was owed in FF.
