Alec Bohm Could be Placed on the Trade Block
The Philadelphia Phillies could look to trade third baseman Alec Bohm if they were to come to an agreement with top infield free agent Bo Bichette. The Phillies have been expressing interest in Bichette and are set to meet with the starting infielder in the coming days. However, Matt Gelb and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that if the Phillies were to sign the former Blue Jay, they would need to not only open a spot in the infield but also some salary. Bohm agreed to a one-year $10.2 million contract on Thursday to avoid arbitration and is set to hit the open market following the 2026 season. Last season, Bohm posted a .283/.331/.409 line with 11 home runs and just two stolen bases. His 11 home runs were his lowest total in a full season since 2021. If Bohm were to be shopped, Bichette would likely slide in as the everyday third baseman in Philadelphia, leaving Bryson Stott at second base and Trea Turner at shortstop.
