This week’s mailbag delves into discussions about potentially trading Alec Bohm, exploring possible targets for the Mariners and Guardians, Roki Sasaki’s recent decision, the Pirates’ surplus in catchers, various trade scenarios, and more.
Eric asks:
What could the Phillies realistically receive in exchange for Alec Bohm and a second tier prospect?
Bohm, who is 28 years old, had a career-best season with a 115 wRC+ in 606 plate appearances, resulting in a 3.5 WAR. Despite a dip in performance towards the end of the season, he is projected to have an $8.1MM arbitration salary in 2025 and is under team control through 2026.
While Bohm has shown his value as a player, there are rumblings that the Phillies might be open to trading him. In a recent report, ESPN’s Jeff Passan mentioned that the Phillies are considering moving Bohm to shake up their roster.
