When the Phillies begin their offseason pursuit of a certain Washington Nationals outfielder, they'll find themselves negotiating with an agent who is starting to become very popular inside the team's clubhouse.
Rhys Hoskins became the latest Phillies player to sign with Scott Boras, baseball's power agent, earlier this week. Boras represents free-agent-to-be Bryce Harper along with Jake Arrieta, Vince Velasquez and Nick Williams on the Phillies. Hoskins was previously repped by Brodie Scoffield, who recently left the Legacy Group.
"It came down to a decision where I felt like Boras' team, the people he has working for him, and himself are going to give me the best chance to be the best baseball player I can be," Hoskins said.
