Since they finished 2024 with a 95–game winning streak, the Philadelphia Phillies shouldn’t be required to make a ton of drastic roster changes this offseason.

Philadelphia definitely didn’t have the season ending it had hoped for. Even though they were eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Mets, the Phillies were among the leading favorites to win the World Series. The team’s season didn’t conclude as planned, but there is still reason for optimism among fans.

Unless trades are made, the majority of the Phillies’ roster will return in 2025. The Phillies’ winning formula is crystal evident, and they’ll be ready to go to the next level in 2019. Major trades aren’t necessary for the Phillies, but that doesn’t mean they won’t.

Philadelphia Sixers All-Star infielder Alec Bohm has been the subject of recent trade speculations, and now Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller is speculating that Bohm might be a valuable piece of trade bait this winter.

“Alec Bohm was one of the biggest reasons the Philadelphia Phillies raced out to their insurmountable lead in the (National League) East,” stated Miller. Bohm was selected to start at third base for the National League in the All-Star Game on July 5, when the team’s lead over Atlanta was 10 games and they had a record of 58-30. He had a batting average of.300 and a slugging percentage slightly below.500.

“Bohm has two years of arbitration eligibility remaining, but the trade rumors have quickly blossomed into questions of ‘where’ he’ll ultimately be dealt, rather than questions of ‘if’ the Phillies are looking to trade him—fueled in some small part by recent talk that they might be in play for Alex Bregman.”

Bohm should not be traded by Philadelphia. Coming off his best season to date, he will earn slightly more than $8 million in 2025. Although I am unaware of the Phillies’ front office’s knowledge, a deal does appear surprising.
