The New York Yankees are going to make some moves this offseason, and one area most likely to see some change is the infield.
With Jazz Chisholm Jr. likely gone, the Yankees need to find some help in the infield. There are some intriguing options available this offseason, and one player has come up as someone the Yankees are reportedly interested in.
According to Jon Heyman of The New York Post, the Yankees are interested in Philadelphia Phillies free agent infielder and former All-Star Alec Bohm.

"The Yankees are showing interest in longtime Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, a free agent, sources said," Heyman reports.
With the Yankees' infield woes recently, especially at third base with Ryan McMahon, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Brian Cashman find a new player for the hot corner.
Bohm, the 30-year-old corner infielder, can play both third and first base, giving the Yankees some flexibility if they ultimately decide to sign him.
But he's a bit of a polarizing player. This past season, he posted -0.2 bWAR in 567 at-bats with 15 home runs and a .249 batting average.

His defense isn't great, and his offense has been inconsistent these past few seasons. While Bohm is a career 101 OPS+ hitter, he posted just an 87 OPS+ in 2026, and isn't someone who can be trusted in the lineup day in and day out.
He does have a knack for driving in runs and making contact, as he has at least 88 RBI in three of his last four seasons, and is under 100 strikeouts in every year since 2023.
Bohm isn't the most exciting free agent option this offseason, but he probably won't cost a team that much to sign, likely on a one-year deal, and could be a solid piece in a lineup that needs a bit more help, just as this Yankees lineup does.
It's too soon to know if the Yankees will actually land Bohm or not, but they're showing interest according to Heyman, and this is a pairing worth paying close attention to as free agency unfolds.
