The Philadelphia Phillies are facing speculation regarding the future of All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm, who has been linked to trade rumors. Despite a strong start to the season, his performance dipped, leading to benching during the playoffs and raising questions about his maturity.

Manager Rob Thomson has publicly denied intentions to trade Bohm, but MLB insider Ken Rosenthal suggests a trade is likely, with the Seattle Mariners as a potential destination. The Phillies may need to adjust their expectations for a return due to Bohm's inconsistency and off-field concerns.
