JUST IN: Phillies Urged To Steal $119 Million Franchise Legend From Astros In Free Agency

As the offseason began, the Philadelphia Phillies were tied to numerous rumors, with one standout suggestion: the potential trade of All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm, provided they could secure a strong replacement through free agency. But what might such a move entail? Christopher Kline of Fan Sided has a proposal. If the Phillies are serious about parting ways with Bohm, Kline recommends targeting free-agent infielder Alex Bregman from the Houston Astros. Bregman is expected to command a four-year, $119 million deal this offseason, possibly with the Phillies.

At 30 years old, Bregman may have a limited prime window, but he’s a proven winner with a strong skill set. Kline highlights his disciplined approach at the plate, clutch performance under pressure, and solid defensive abilities at third base or second base. Bregman’s consistency, Kline argues, could transform the Phillies’ lineup, which sometimes leans too heavily on a feast-or-famine dynamic.

Adding Bregman would be an ideal fit for Philadelphia’s roster. Trading Bohm could bring significant returns, potentially landing a star player like Garrett Crochet, Luis Robert Jr., or Ryan Helsley. However, the Astros are making an aggressive push to retain Bregman, reportedly considering a six-year, $200 million offer. For the Phillies to secure Bregman, they’ll need to be ready to make a substantial financial commitment.
