Hoskins' deal includes an opt-out clause after
the 2024 season, per the reports.
A torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained in spring training
forced Hoskins to miss the entire 2023 season after he hit .246
with 30 home runs and 79 RBIs across 156 games with the
Philadelphia Phillies in 2022.
In six major league seasons, all with Philadelphia, the
30-year-old has a .242 batting average to go along with 148
homers and 405 RBIs in 667 games. He finished fourth in National
League Rookie of the Year voting in 2017.
Hoskins became expendable when Phillies president of baseball
operations Dave Dombrowski announced in early November that
Bryce Harper would be the club's full-time first baseman for
2024 and beyond.
Ten players got at least one start at first base for the Brewers
last season, a list led by Rowdy Tellez (62 games) and Carlos
Santana (49 games). Tellez signed a free agent deal with the
Pittsburgh Pirates last month, while Santana remains a free
agent.
