Phillies Trade Idea Sends Alec Bohm to AL Contender for Ideal Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Philadelphia Phillies will have some questions to answer at the trade deadline. Whether they look to buy and sell some remains to be seen, but there could be a scenario where the Phillies aim to improve while also trading a player or two from their lineup.

After an offseason of rumors surrounding Alec Bohm, it might be possible that the Phillies would move on from him if they got a package they loved in return.
For a team as good as the Phillies, who look to be in a position to compete for a World Series, they can never use enough arms.
If they want to move on from Bohm, they have to find a replacement at their base, but they could also look to add another starter.
Looking at potential options for teams around the league, Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently linked Bohm to the Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners need a corner infielder, and with their surplus of young, talented arms, there's reason to believe there could potentially be a trade to be made with Philadelphia, even if it means the Phillies have to move on from another prospect or big league player.

'Possible targets: Eugenio Suárez, Diamondbacks; Josh Naylor, Diamondbacks; Yandy Díaz, Rays; Alec Bohm, Phillies; Ben Rice, Yankees; Ryan Mountcastle, Orioles; Coby Mayo, Orioles; Ryan O'Hearn, Orioles; Nathaniel Lowe, Nationals,' he wrote.
The Mariners are a tough team to evaluate. There have been times throughout the past few years when they've looked to be an excellent squad, but their offense typically struggles.
That's been the case for them again over their past 10 games, going 3-7. 4.5 games behind in the American League West, the Mariners need to get a move on if they want to compete in the postseason.

DENVER (AP) — Eugenio Suárez and Geraldo Perdomo homered, Ketel Marte went 4 for 4 and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Saturday night in hot conditions for their third straight victory. The Rockies said the first-pitch temperature of 98 degrees was highest for a major league game this season. A night after homering twice to reach 300 in his career in a 14-8 victory, Suárez hit his 25th homer of the season — a solo shot in the third for a 3-2 lead — to tie Los Angeles' Shohei Ohtani for the National League lead and push his major league-leading RBI total to 67.

Merrill Kelly (7-3) allowed three runs — two earned — on six hits in six innings. He is 9-3 in 17 career starts against Colorado, which has lost three straight. Ryan Thompson worked out of a jam in the seventh and Jalen Beeks pitched a 1-2-3 eighth. Shelby Miller struck out three in the ninth for his eighth save in 12 opportunities. Marte had a leadoff double for the second straight game and the Diamondbacks loaded the bases with no outs in the first off Rockies rookie Carson Palmquist, but managed only a run onSuárez's sac fly. Jordan Beck hit a two-run homer in the Colorado first for a 2-1 lead and his double-play grounder tied it at 3 in the third. Key moment Thompson came in with two on and nobody out in the seventh and picked off Mickey Moniak at second base for the first out. He retired Orlando Arcia on a shallow fly to center and struck out Ryan Ritter to keep it 5-3. Key stat Marte, who hit a three-run homer, doubled twice and matched a career high with five RBIs on Friday night, walked his last time up and is 7 for 10 in the series. Up next Diamondbacks RHP Brandon Pfaadt (8-4, 5.38) was set to start the series finale Sunday opposite RHP Antonio Senzatela (2-10, 6.72). ___ AP MLB:
