Trade rumors swirl around Alec Bohm of the Philadelphia Phillies, leading to speculation about his potential replacement in the upcoming MLB Draft. The Phillies are projected to pick 26th overall, with Gavin Fien, a third baseman from Great Oak High School, touted as a likely selection. Fien, ranked as MLB.com's 26th overall prospect, is known for his exceptional hitting skills, evidenced by his .400 batting average during a previous international competition.

With Bohm being only 28 years old and one of the team's top performers, the idea of trading him raises questions. While teams like the Mariners and Tigers show interest, the consensus is that the Phillies may hold onto Bohm until Fien is ready, potentially allowing for a position switch for Fien in the future. This strategy could keep the veteran Bohm in the lineup longer while still preparing for the future.
