The Milwaukee Brewers made some captivating decisions this offseason. With Willy Adames likely to leave in free agency, their infield will be one of the sizzling topics of discussion. If Joey Ortiz is selected to move to shortstop, then the Brew Crew may be looking for a third baseman. One trade target that has recently emerged is the 2024 All-Star Alec Bohm.
Jeff Passan reported that Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is on the trade lockout
A recent report from Jeff Passan indicates that Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is on a trade lock. The 2024 All-Star Game finished with a .280/.332/.448 line that included 15 home runs, 44 doubles and 97 hits. He has two years of team control remaining and is projected to earn $8.1 million in arbitration this offseason.
Milwaukee Brewers fans are urging the organization to trade for Alec Bohm
On social media, Milwaukee Brewers fans were excited about the idea of Alec Bohm being traded. The popular opinion was that Devin Williams should be involved in a trade package for Bohm. Acquiring Bohm would be a good way to replace the offensive production the team would lose if Willy Adames signed with another club.
Yes! Offer Williams for Bohm, add sweetener if necessary. Move Ortiz to SS. Zoom in on the Megillah.

Devin Williams and Carlos Rodriguez for Bohm. Think both sides will say yes!

I would be totally into it…..it would be a good replacement for Willie’s numbers

I doubt Oliver Dunn at 3B, so yes, I’ll try. move Ortiz to SS, keep Turang at 2B. it looks like Bohm also has experience at the 1B level, it would be useful to have that. maybe Hoskins can play a massive role in his recruitment

What are the concerns about the Milwaukee Brewers hitting Alec Bohm?
One area of concern regarding Alec Bohm is his defense. The third baseman has historically posted double-digit negative numbers in the defensive runs saved category (-13 in 2021, -17 in 2022 and -10 in 2023). He has good defensive range, but his arm strength is well below average and he has multiple double-digit error seasons (15 in 2021, 13 in 2022 and 14 in 2024).
Another thing worth mentioning is that he was on the bench after the 2024 season. According to AJ Pierzyński, this decision was not based solely on results, he still has a lot to do.
“He needs to take the next step as a maturing adult.”@AJPierzyński12 he said he heard from people on the Phillies team that Alec Bohm wasn’t benched in the playoffs just because of his needy performance. pic.twitter.com/kiZGwGmRHD
