Alec Bohm, the Philadelphia Phillies’ corner infielder, opened 2026 hitting .159 through 35 games, then drove in 88 runs by season’s end. Heading into free agency, evaluators must decide which version of him deserves a contract.
The Philadelphia Phillies are considering whether to extend a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer to infielder Alec Bohm ahead of free agency. Bohm made $10.2 million in 2026 after avoiding arbitration, and extending the offer could keep him in Philadelphia despite questions surrounding whether his production warrants more than double his previous salary.
Bohm posted a .249 batting average with 88 RBIs in 2026, recovering strongly after hitting .159 across his first 35 games. While his defensive metrics at third base declined, his career .302 average against left-handed pitchers offers steady value if Philadelphia opts to retain him alongside Ryan O'Hearn and Spencer Horwitz.
