Detroit Tigers consider signing Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm

Following a 2026 season that will result in a missed postseason, the Detroit Tigers are exploring options to bolster their infield for 2027. Analysis suggests targeting Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm as a potential acquisition to partner with rookie Kevin McGonigle on the left side of the infield. Bohm, 30, recorded 15 home runs with a -0.3 bWAR and an 86 OPS+ across 140 games this season. While his defensive performance has raised concerns, his potential availability at a lower contract cost presents a more modest financial commitment compared to other free-agent options. The Tigers are looking to stabilize the infield after trading Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2026 campaign.
