Alec Bohm emerged in trade rumors last offseason, and it looks like the Philadelphia Phillies could entertain a trade centered around the 29-year-old again this offseason.
Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reported earlier this week the Phillies “have tried to trade Alex Bohm.”

Seattle MarinersThe Seattle Mariners had a need at third base until they traded for Engenio Suarez leading up to the deadline. However, with Suarez a free agent and the Mariners already bringing back Josh Naylor, a reunion between the two sides feels unlikely.
Still, Seattle won’t want to take a step backward after reaching the ALCS last season. Even though Bohm doesn’t have the same pop in his swing to fully replace Suarez, he could still be a serviceable option for the Mariners.

The Arizona Diamondbacks could be in store for a re-tooling this offseason, but not a full-on rebuild. Considering that third base is a position the team could seek to upgrade.
Yes, Bohm only has one season left of team control, but at 29 years old, he could still be an extension candidate and fit Arizona’s timeline.
Perhaps Bohm is the headliner in a blockbuster trade that sees Ketel Marte land in Philly? The Phillies are reportedly one of the teams interested in the All-Star, and discussions must start somewhere.

Last season, Detroit’s third baseman had a combined slashline of .226/.286/.384. Even though Bohm had a relative down year, his .741 OPS would still have been an upgrade.
Yes, the Tigers’ top prospect is Kevin McGonigle, who plays on the right side of the infield. However, he’s still at Double-A, and even if McGonigle makes his debut in 2026, it would likely be at some point in the second half of the season. Bohm could easily handle third until then.
Would the Tigers be willing to give up a few bullpen arms for one season of Bohm at third?
