Alec Bohm
Third baseman Alec Bohm has made huge strides in his game in the past couple of seasons to help drive the Phillies’ offense. After his breakout 2022 year with Philadelphia, Bohm has followed it up with back-to-back 15+ home runs and 95+ RBI seasons in 2023 and 2024. He even made the All-Star Game for the first time in his career this past season. There’s no doubt he had been one of the Phillies’ best run producers throughout the regular season.
However, whenever it came to his playoff performance, he has left a lot to be desired. Over his three postseason appearances with the Phillies, Bohm has compiled just a .214 batting average, .629 OPS, 11 runs scored, two home runs and 14 RBI in 34 career playoff games.
He was a complete disaster during the 2024 NLDS against the New York Mets this year when he registered just one hit in 14 plate appearances. In doing so, he played a key part in the Phillies’ collapse and early elimination from the playoffs.
Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report recently picked Bohm as the main candidate to be moved by the Phillies this offseason. He believes that his brutal second half of 2024 following his All-Star first half, along with his inability to maintain his composure while throwing tantrums at times could spell the end of his tenure with Philadelphia. Rymer suggested potential fits with the Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.
In addition, Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report also recently suggested that the Phillies could be a potential landing spot for big-time free agent third baseman Alex Bregman this coming offseason.
If that indeed comes to fruition, it would push Bohm out of a role with the Phillies for good as there would be no other position to fit him in, with Harper cemented at first base and Kyle Schwarber occupying the designated hitter spot. In any case, it appears as though the current odds-on favorite for a key Phillies player to be moved this offseason is Bohm.
