Report: Yankees are targeting 1 All-Star infielder

The New York Yankees are apparently trying to solve their infield conundrum.

New York is looking “closely” at Philadelphia Phillies veteran third baseman Alec Bohm in free agency this offseason, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported on Wednesday. Heyman adds that the interest between the two sides appears to be mutual.

Bohm, 30, has been with the Phillies for his entire seven-year MLB career. He helped Philadelphia make the World Series in 2022, was an All-Star in 2024, and produced 15 home runs and 88 RBIs over 155 games in 2026.

Now Bohm is a free agent this offseason (having recently fired Scott Boras in favor of different representation). We also know that the Phillies, who lost in the NL Wild Card round to the Atlanta Braves this past season, could be making a number of changes this winter.

As for the Yankees, they are looking for more help after losing in the ALDS for a second straight year. At third base specifically, Ryan McMahon got most of the work in 2026 but only hit .213 overall and also made nine errors.

A few months ago, we learned that the Yankees will likely be shaking up their infield in 2027. Now it appears that Bohm, a career .273 hitter who has strong splits against lefties, could be one of their desired reinforcements.
