At the closing of the 2019 season, third base remained a mystery in terms of who’s going to hold down the fort at the hot corner next season for the Phillies. Could it be the once-heralded Maikel Franco, who is still only going to be 27 years old at the start of 2020? Could it be stud prospect and former first-round pick Alec Bohm? Or is it going to be an outsider that takes the spotlight, such as Josh Donaldson? It’s a case that remains open, and a case that the Phillies front office needs to prioritize.
Maikel Franco is the incumbent to the position.
