As of now, there isn’t an official announcement of Alec Bohm signing a new contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies, but discussions about his future with the team have been ongoing. Bohm, coming off a strong 2024 season with career highs in home runs (20) and RBIs (97), recently encountered arbitration discussions with the team. The Phillies and Bohm were reportedly separated by $600,000 in their filings for his 2024 salary: Bohm’s camp requested $4 million, while the Phillies countered at $3.4 million.
Given the team’s history of avoiding arbitration hearings and working towards multi-year deals for core players, a long-term extension for Bohm remains a plausible development. Such a deal would offer the Phillies cost certainty and stability at third base while bridging the gap until younger prospects like Aidan Miller are MLB-ready. Bohm’s continued improvement at the plate, including a career-best strikeout rate and improved batted-ball metrics in 2024, strengthens his case for a more significant commitment.
If a new deal is confirmed, it would signify the Phillies’ intent to keep Bohm as a central part of their lineup as they aim to remain competitive in the coming years. Let me know if you’d like updates or further details as this situation unfolds!
