While Ken Rosenthal noted in a video for FOX Sports late in September that the Philadelphia Phillies trading Carlos Santana after the first year of a lucrative three-year contract isn’t likely, that doesn’t mean the club won’t look for a way to move Rhys Hoskins back to his natural position of first base. In fact, it appears that may be the most likely scenario for 2019.
At his season-ending press conference Tuesday, Phillies president Andy MacPhail talked about the possibility of Hoskins returning to first base.
“It’s no secret that we asked Rhys to play left field,” MacPhail told the collective media Tuesday afternoon.
