This time last year, Rhys Hoskins was viewed as one of the Phillies‘ core pieces. However, a combination of factors makes the idea of trading him actually within the realm of possibility.
Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia stated that while a Hoskins contract extension seemed likely this offseason but it now seems more likely he will be traded this offseason to acquire pitching. This idea came up last month, and I was entirely against it, but the possibility remains.
Starting pitching should be the team’s No. 1 priority this offseason.
