Yankees Named Threat to Poach Phillies Star During Offseason

The New York Yankees have been identified as a potential suitor to sign Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in free agency, according to a proposal highlighted by Sara Molnick of Pinstripes Nation. Bohm, a 30-year-old former All-Star, concluded the 2026 season batting .249 with 15 home runs and 88 RBIs across 155 games after rebounding strongly following a slow start to the year.

The Yankees are facing questions at third base after Ryan McMahon struggled offensively during the 2026 campaign, hitting just .213. While Bohm offers strong contact skills and a career .314 batting average with runners in scoring position, any pursuit would require New York to manage his defensive limitations after he posted minus-11 Outs Above Average in 2026.
