Philadelphia Phillies face roster decisions regarding Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm

The Philadelphia Phillies are evaluating significant roster changes ahead of the offseason. Speculation has emerged regarding the potential trade of first baseman Bryce Harper. While Harper holds a no-trade clause, reports suggest he could waive it if a prospective team offers a contract extension, though the Phillies remain reluctant to commit to long-term costs as his current deal expires after his age-38 season.

Additionally, the team faces a decision regarding infielder Alec Bohm, who is approaching free agency. One prediction suggests the Phillies may extend a qualifying offer to Bohm, which would be valued at $23.15 million. This one-year agreement could serve as a compromise, allowing Bohm to earn a significant raise while providing the Phillies with a short-term solution as they seek to upgrade their lineup power.
