Rumored NY Yankees Free Agent Target Alec Bohm Will Be Center of MAJOR Bidding War?
IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect If the New York Yankees want to sign Philadelphia Phillies veteran Alec Bohm to be their new starting third baseman, they’ll have to win an unexpected bidding war.
Key points
- Even before the season ended, Bohm has been viewed as a potential target for the Yankees.
- Murray also added in his report that Bohm “caught fire down the stretch in 2026 after a move over to first, and his contact skills and ability to mash left-handed pitching” are key in his strong market.
- Although he struggled in 2026, Bohm still has a career slashline of 273/.325/.410/.735, and is usually a lock to hit 15 to 20 homers and over 90 RBIs if healthy for much of the season.
