LAS VEGAS — The Yankees are showing interest in longtime Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, a free agent, sources said.
The Yankees have prioritized the infield after third baseman Ryan McMahon struggled so badly at the plate last year and also prefer a right-handed bat, so Bohm is a potential fit. While Bohm didn’t have a great year in 2026, he performed very well after a brutal April many believe was caused by temporary family strife that became public.
Bohm enhanced his free-agent status in the second half, not only with productive offense but some excellent play after moving over to first base.
Bohm, 30, would likely be looking at a relatively short deal, perhaps even one year, after posting underwhelming overall numbers (15 homers, .249 batting average, .698 OPS). He might not even mind a one-year deal to reset since he’s probably primed to improve his year-end stats following a season in which he posted a paltry, even pathetic .402 OPS in April.
