Former Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins opted in to his contract at the beginning of the offseason, leading to the Brewers potentially looking for a trade partner.
Hoskins could be shopped this winter. The Brewers are “open to moving” him, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Hoskins will make at least $22 million over the next two seasons. He has an $18 million salary for 2025 with a $4 million buyout on a 2026 mutual option worth $18 million. Hoskins signed a two-year, $34 million deal with Milwaukee last offseason.
As Rosenthal noted, finding a team that could take on his salary might be a difficult ask.
