Phillies will nontender Austin Hays

News that was kind of expected has more or less officially come down that Austin Hays will not be tendered a contract from the Phillies for 2025.

Austin Hays was informed he is being non-tendered by Phillies. Only 29, Hays suffered through a severe kidney infection after being traded to Philly. Only a year removed from an All Star and Gold Glove finalist season, he’ll be an interesting free agent.

Hays struggled while with the Phillies, both on the field and off it.
