Mets Target Alec Bohm as Potential Option to Upgrade First Base

The New York Mets are reportedly interested in acquiring Alec Bohm as a potential full-time or platoon first baseman alongside Jared Young. Bohm is coming off a challenging 2026 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, slashing .249/.315/.383 with 15 home runs after recovering from a brutal .433 OPS over the first six weeks. Though primarily a third baseman, Bohm logged 424.2 innings at first base in 2026, posting one Defensive Runs Saved with six errors.
