Cardinals Suddenly Linked to Phillies All-Star Free Agent
The St. Louis Cardinals are being predicted to sign Philadelphia Phillies All-Star free agent Alec Bohm this offseason.
The St. Louis Cardinals are emerging as a potential suitor for Philadelphia Phillies All-Star Alec Bohm, according to a recent report by Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly. The Cardinals are speculated to offer Bohm a two-year, $30 million contract with a player option for the 2028 season, suggesting he could return to the free agent market if his performance in 2027 remains a question.
Bohm, originally from Omaha, played collegiately at Wichita State and played 155 games for the Phillies in 2023, contributing 15 home runs, 88 RBI, and a .249 batting average. However, his batting average of .274 or higher in his previous four seasons indicates he might rebound in 2027 if he joins the Cardinals. The Cardinals' interest in Bohm could provide a significant boost to their roster, making him a noteworthy free agent target for the 2024 season.
