Phillies, Alec Bohm Avoid Arbitration
"Bohm, 29, will be playing out his final season of club control in 2026. The former No. 3 overall pick looked like a star early on, when he debuted with a sensational .338/.400/.481 slash in 44 games as a rookie back in 2020. He's settled in as more of a league-average bat in the five years since that time, hitting a combined .275/.323/.411 (101 wRC+) in 2769 plate appearances dating back to 2021."
"The Phillies figure to give Bohm everyday reps at the hot corner once again this season. He's improved his glovework considerably since ranking as one of the worst third base defenders in the game back in 2021-22, although both Defensive Runs Saved (-3) and Outs Above Average (-2) had him a bit below par in 942 frames there in 2025. Bohm has also logged plenty of first base time over the years and could see time there in the event that Bryce Harper misses time due to injury."
The Phillies and Bohm agreed to a $10.2MM salary for the 2026 season, with Bohm represented by the Boras Corporation. Bohm, 29, will play his final season of club control in 2026. He debuted as a high-performing rookie but has since been a roughly league-average hitter, producing a combined .275/.323/.411 (101 wRC+) in 2,769 plate appearances since 2021. Defensive work has improved from earlier struggles, though metrics in 2025 showed him slightly below average. Bohm can also play first base, posted a .287/.331/.409 (105 wRC+) line with 11 homers in 2025, and could earn a multi-year deal with another similar season.
