The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for a major shakeup this offseason, leaving very few players guaranteed a spot for the 2025 season. While stars like Bryce Harper and Trea Turner, along with some of their top pitchers, are likely safe, the rest of the roster could be up for grabs.
One player drawing significant attention is All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm. With a projected seven-year, $142 million contract looming when he hits free agency in 2026, Bohm’s future in Philadelphia is uncertain. He had a solid season, batting .280 with 44 doubles, but some struggles late in the year have cast doubt on his long-term role with the team.
According to FanSided’s Christopher Kline, the Phillies are likely to entertain offers and could trade Bohm this winter. Kline notes that the team is eyeing upgrades at third base, with potential targets like Alex Bregman or Willy Adames, which would make Bohm expendable. Despite his first All-Star appearance, Bohm’s struggles in the second half, especially his benching during the NLDS, have led to questions about his future in Philly.
If the Phillies can swing a deal for a top-tier third baseman and use Bohm as trade bait for an ace-caliber starting pitcher, moving him might be a smart move. However, the Phillies are taking a risky gamble. If they don’t secure the right return for Bohm, they could risk derailing their championship window and set their rebuild back a couple of years.
