I wanted to check out how much Alec Bohm would be making this year, so I got on the internet to start digging. I’ve been following him since he joined the Phillies, and it seems like his salary’s been a hot topic lately.
I found this interesting tidbit:
- Alec Bohm is going to make $4 million for the 2024 MLB season.
Getting into the Details
I started looking around more, and found that there was some back-and-forth about his pay. Apparently, Alec asked for $4 million, but the Phillies initially offered $3.4 million. This isn’t the first time they’ve had to negotiate his salary, it looks like. It’s a big jump from what he was making before, which was around $748,000 last year. I remember seeing his earlier salaries too, like $715,000 in 2022 and $575,000 in 2021. It’s cool to see how much it’s gone up since then.
So, I dug a bit deeper and it seems like they had to go to arbitration to settle on the $4 million. I guess that’s how these things work when they can’t agree, someone neutral comes in and decides. It’s a bit of a process, but it looks like it worked out in Alec’s favor this time.
Looking Back at Alec’s Career
I also took a look back at where Alec started. He was drafted by the Phillies in 2018, so he’s been with them for a while now. He played for Wichita State University before that, hitting a solid .339 from what I saw. Since his debut in 2020, he’s played both third base and first base, showing he’s pretty versatile on the field.
After gathering all this, I put together a little summary:
- 2024 Salary: $4,000,000
- 2023 Salary: $748,000
- 2022 Salary: $715,000
- 2021 Salary: $575,000
It was interesting to see how his salary has increased significantly over the years, especially with the arbitration case this year. It seems like he’s really proven his worth on the team, and it’s reflected in his pay.
