As the Philadelphia Phillies search for creative ways to upgrade their roster, one name that has been mentioned in trade talks is Alec Bohm.

Bohm has an attractive contract,  and teams looking for a low-priced offensive upgrade could be looking to add his bat.

Many Phillies fans believe the team needs to shake up its offense, but it appears team President Dave Dombrowski wants to add to his pitching staff, targeting White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet.

According to USA Today MLB reporter Bob Nightengale, the Phillies offer of Bohm, along with outfield prospect Justin Crawford was declined in exchange for Crochet.

Some would ask, why do the Phillies need to add to a pitching staff that features Zack Wheeler,  Aaron Nola, Christopher Sanchez, and Ranger Suárez with top prospect Andrew Painter waiting in the wings.

However, Crochet is a young, top-of-the-rotation type of pitcher and would allow the team to try and move a pitcher like Suárez to add offense.

If the team moves Bohm, they would need to add a third baseman to replace him.  One name that has been mentioned is Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, which was reported last week by MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi.

It was reported earlier this week that the team explored moving Bohm to Seattle, asking for one of their top arms, either Logan Gilbert or George Kirby in return.
