In a moment that will warm the hearts of Phillies fans everywhere, Alec Bohm, the team’s beloved third baseman and clutch hitter, has officially shut down swirling trade rumors by making a passionate declaration of loyalty to the team and city that embraced him.
Amid growing speculation about a potential move elsewhere, Bohm addressed the media following the Phillies’ recent homestand and left no doubt about where his heart lies.
“I belong here and owe everything to the Phils,” Bohm said with conviction. “This city, this clubhouse, and these fans have shaped me as a player and as a person. I’m not going anywhere.”
Over the past few weeks, rumors linking Bohm to potential trade talks had picked up steam, especially with several teams reportedly seeking to bolster their infield depth. But the 27-year-old made it clear: he sees his future in red and white.
The timing of his statement couldn’t be better for a Phillies team riding high near the top of the NL standings. Bohm, one of the most consistent bats in the lineup, is in the midst of a standout season — hitting over .300 with strong on-base production and improved defense at the hot corner.
“He’s not just a great player — he’s the glue guy,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “Alec brings stability and heart to this team. His commitment means everything to us.”
Since being drafted third overall by the Phillies in 2018, Bohm has experienced both highs and adversity — from early struggles and public criticism to becoming a postseason hero and fan favorite. His growth has mirrored that of the team, and his bond with the city has only deepened.
His message resonates loudly with a fan base known for passion and loyalty — and it’s clear the feeling is mutual.
“Philly is home,” Bohm added. “I want to win here. I want to finish what we started.”
With Bohm firmly committed and playing some of the best baseball of his career, the Phillies are poised for another deep playoff push. His leadership and consistent production have been critical components of the team’s success — and now, with his future clarified, the focus can fully shift to October dreams.
Alec Bohm’s message is simple and powerful: he’s staying put, locked in, and ready to lead the Phils toward something special.
Phillies fans, breathe easy — your third baseman isn’t going anywhere.
