The future of Alec Bohm with the Philadelphia Phillies increasingly appears uncertain, as trade speculation surrounding the third baseman continues to grow while his offensive struggles deepen early in the season.
Through 29 games, Bohm has posted a disappointing .151/.218/.208 slash line with just one home run and an OPS+ of 18, indicating he has performed well below replacement level at the plate. While Philadelphia’s overall season remains salvageable, his production at third base has become a growing concern if the team hopes to return to postseason contention.
Given his ongoing struggles and looming free agency after the season, Bohm’s name has remained a frequent topic in trade discussions over the past several years.
Even if the Phillies remain in the playoff race, the front office could still explore upgrades at the hot corner.
One potential trade idea highlighted by FanSided’s Christopher Kline links Philadelphia with the Houston Astros, who may soon face an infield logjam.
Kline noted that Houston’s Isaac Paredes brings a disciplined approach and solid production, though his power profile has been inconsistent despite hitting 20 home runs in 2025 and a career-high 31 in 2023.
At 27 years old and under contract for another season, Paredes could attract significant interest, especially as Houston trends toward selling at the deadline.
His offensive upside and versatility make him an appealing fit for teams like the Phillies, who have an immediate need at third base.
For Philadelphia, a move of that nature would provide stability beyond this season while addressing Bohm’s uncertain long-term future, as he is set to hit free agency once the year concludes.
