Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Wednesday, Nov. 11, that the Yankees have shown interest in free agent Alec Bohm as a right-handed option for third base.
- Bohm is a seven-year veteran who spent his career with the Phillies and has a .273 career batting average, .735 OPS and 85 home runs.
- His 2026 season was uneven with a .698 OPS and 15 homers overall but a much stronger .794 OPS after the All-Star break, which teams view as evidence of rebound potential.
- Scouts and reporters note clear risks: Bohm has been a below-average defender at the hot corner and has posted inconsistent offense, so projections point toward a short, one-year deal in the low-teens of millions.
- If New York signs Bohm it would be aimed at replacing or platooning with Ryan McMahon and could trigger a roster move or trade for McMahon while the GM meetings and looming labor talks add urgency to offseason decisions.
