Phillies Explore Alec Bohm Trade Opportunities

The Philadelphia Phillies are exploring potential trades involving third baseman Alec Bohm, despite his All-Star performance in 2024. Phillies manager Rob Thomson emphasized that while the team isn't actively shopping Bohm, they are listening to offers from interested teams like the Athletics, Royals, White Sox, and Mariners. The Athletics showed interest but balked at the Phillies' high asking price of All-Star reliever Mason Miller. Meanwhile, the Yankees' potential interest could have involved pitching prospects, but some key pieces like Nestor Cortes are no longer available. Bohm's trade rumors are partly driven by his underwhelming postseason performance and the Phillies' need to strengthen their roster, including the starting rotation. Although Thomson praised Bohm's development and contributions, the Phillies' openness to a trade indicates they are waiting for a substantial offer to improve their team further.
