Mets Should Target Phillies Free Agent To Fill Void At First Base

Baseball Now argues that the New York Mets should target free-agent infielder Alec Bohm to address their ongoing vacancy at first base. After losing Pete Alonso to the Baltimore Orioles, New York cycled through multiple players at the position without establishing a long-term solution. David Stearns is expected to seek a reliable starter at first base during the offseason.

Bohm transitioned to first base for the Philadelphia Phillies following a midseason infield shuffle. Baseball Now notes that while Bohm's overall offensive numbers have dropped since his 2024 All-Star campaign, his strong second-half performance could make him an attractive target on a short-term or prove-it free-agent deal.
