Yankees Show Interest in Free-Agent Third Baseman Alec Bohm

The Yankees are exploring a possible move for Alec Bohm, the longtime Phillies third baseman who is now a free agent. The team has prioritized improving its infield after Ryan McMahon’s difficult season at the plate and is seeking a right-handed bat.

Bohm’s overall 2026 numbers were modest: he hit 15 home runs with a .249 batting average and a .698 OPS. His April was especially poor, with a .402 OPS, but he performed better after that stretch and had a productive second half.

His value also rose through strong defensive play after he shifted to first base. Bohm is 30 and may be suited to a relatively short contract, potentially a one-year deal, giving him a chance to rebuild his standing after a down season.
