The Philadelphia Phillies are entering Spring Training with renewed optimism after a productive offseason aimed at reinforcing their core. Key player Alec Bohm, who had a standout 2024 season, is under scrutiny following a significant drop in performance during the latter half. His .280 batting average and 97 RBI for the year were impressive, but a fall to .251 and 27 RBI after the All-Star break raised concerns. This volatility has led to speculation about possible trades, particularly involving Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals. While a trade hasn’t occurred, the Phillies must weigh Bohm's future based on his performance, especially as they look to improve their lineup alongside established hitters Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber.
