Pham Now Blames Mike Trout For Fantasy Football Flap.. Yes, Really

The Tommy Pham-Joc Pederson Fantasy Football "Slap" incident just won't go away. Now Pham is slandering baseball's greatest player as being partly responsible for the incident.

Turns out that Mike Trout is commissioner of the fantasy league in question, and Pham blames the way he was running the league:

“Trout did a terrible job, man,” Pham told The Athletic, almost smiling. “Trout’s the worst commissioner in fantasy sports. Because he allowed a lot of sh*t to go on and he could’ve solved it all.”

Tommy Pham partially blamed fantasy football commissioner Mike Trout for what eventually led to Pham slapping Joc Pederson 😂

As we all know by now, the Cincinnati Reds outfielder laid a "Will Smith-type" slap on the San Franciso Giants' Joc Pederson during batting practice last week before a game, in response to Joc "f**king with my money" in the fantasy league, claimed Pham.

But now Pham is telling the "whole" story, as he puts it, and lays some blame on Trout, too, while also absolving him a bit at the same time:

“Nobody wanted to be commissioner, I didn’t want to be the f**king commissioner. I’ve got other sh*t to do. He didn’t want to do it; we put it on him (Trout). It was kind of our fault too, because we made him commissioner,” Pham said.

Mike Trout declined to comment on whether Joc Pederson violated the rules of the fantasy league. He said he is unsure if he’ll resign as commissioner for this coming season. “Every commissioner I know gets booed,” he said.
