As all the 2024 salary agreement news came rolling in throughout the day on Thursday, a couple of notable names were absent from the Philadelphia Phillies news as the 8:00 p.m. ET filing deadline passed. While the Phillies agreed to terms for 2024 with pitchers Ranger Suárez and Jeff Hoffman as well as utilityman Edmundo Sosa earlier in the day, news on Alec Bohm and Gregory Soto remained missing.
As we now know, Bohm and the Phillies couldn’t reach an agreement. Both sides will file their desired salary numbers and will head to an arbitration hearing, that is unless they can agree on a deal before
the hearing.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Get ready, London. Some blokes on the Phillies called Bryce, Bohm and Big Stick Nick are set to show Europe what it’s like to stay loose and sexy, baby.
They like double-deckers over there?
Cool, only forget buses, how about Schwarbombs? You know, those orbital home runs slugger Kyle Schwarber enjoys sending into the second decks of stadiums throughout major league baseball.
Crown ’em?
Not yet, that’s what the postseason is for, but the Phillies were set Wednesday night to hop on a plane with about 100 lie-flat beds and take a cross-Atlantic flight to London as the best team in the National League.
That counts for something in their weekend in the spotlight as they play two games against NL East rival New York Mets on Saturday and Sunday at London Stadium for the league’s third visit to the country in the past five years.
