Phillies linked to Astros' 'extreme pull hitter' to replace Alec Bohm
The Philadelphia Phillies may be looking to replace struggling third baseman Alec Bohm, who has started the season with a .151 batting average and an 18 OPS+, fueling trade speculation. FanSided's Christopher Kline suggests the Phillies could target Houston Astros' infielder Isaac Paredes, an 'extreme pull hitter' with limited power but a track record of 20+ home runs. With the Astros potentially rebuilding and Paredes under contract through 2027, a trade could benefit both teams.
- ▪Alec Bohm is hitting .151/.218/.208 with one home run in 29 games.
- ▪Isaac Paredes hit 20 home runs in 2025 and a career-high 31 in 2023 with the Tampa Bay Rays.
- ▪Paredes is a two-time All-Star, 28 years old, and has one year left on his contract.
