Phillies offseason chatter includes Bohm, Crawford and other roster questions
Today’s Phillies coverage still touches on next year’s roster, with Alec Bohm’s future and outfield questions drawing attention. There is also some background noise around former players and minor roster moves, but the main offseason themes remain familiar.
Bohm remains a real retention question
Sports Illustrated reports that Alec Bohm’s projected salary comparison makes it possible for the Phillies to bring him back, which keeps his status in the conversation rather than pushing him out of it. That matters because the club is being linked to changes in the infield and broader lineup planning, so Bohm is part of the decision tree, not a side note.
Earlier this week, Phillies coverage kept circling roster fit and how the front office wants to reshape the team. Bohm’s situation remains part of that larger infield conversation.

Outfield talk keeps coming back
The Good Phight’s morning note points to Justin Crawford, while recent brief coverage has already put the outfield at the center of offseason conversation.
The broader discussion continues to focus on how the Phillies might reshape the lineup, with the outfield remaining part of that conversation.

Background moves and old faces
Yahoo Sports says the Phillies cut ties with an 11-year MLB shortstop after a disappointing season. Heavy also had a note today about Andrew McCutchen’s wife sending out a heartfelt Instagram post, but that is just a former Phillie note and not a roster development.
None of that changes the big questions by itself, but it does show the coverage ranges from established roster pieces to former Phillies.
