The Philadelphia Phillies are undeniably a very good team. Dave Dombrowski has built his reputation around aggressive spending and splashy acquisitions. He is a champion — a front office legend, if such a thing can exist.

The Philadelphia Phillies may have some shuffling to do this winter if they want to get back to the top of the heap.

The Philadelphia Phillies efforts to make an Alec Bohm trade led to a ludicrous offer to the Oakland Athletics.

Bohm’s outward displays of emotion — including his tendency to throw his helmet or bat when displeased with a result on the field — have drawn criticism. Former All-Star catcher A.J. Pierzynski said on the baseball show Foul Territory that Bohm’s attitude played a role in his playoff benching.

The Phillies dangled Alec Bohm in a trade with the Athletics, however, their asking price was too much to stomach.

While at the Winter Meetings, Phillies manager Rob Thomson told MLB Network that the club has been asked about Bohm, and they are listening, but that " We're not shopping him ." So for now, Bohm remains a Phillie.

Is Bohm closer to an All-Star or an Average Joe? Multiple evaluators opined this week that the Phillies might be overvaluing him on the trade market.

With little at third base in free agency after Alex Bregman, who would even be the Phillies’ options if they trade Alec Bohm this offseason? Here are some candidates.

The Philadelphia Phillies offered All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for one of their top pitchers.

After washing out in the first round of the playoffs, the Phillies are no longer the top dogs of the National League. The Los Angeles Dodgers are defending World Series champions, while the New York Mets just landed a generational talent in Juan Soto. Plus, the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres are lurking.
