Phillies Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos Spend Winter Vacation Together (PICS)
What a treat! Phillies stars Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Nick Castellanos spent a winter vacation together with their families. The Eagles might have us in a bad mood, but knowing our Phillies are spending vacations together and that it’s less than two months until Pitches and Catchers report to Spring Training, gives us a glimmer of hope.
Their wives posted a lot of fun pics frolicking in a winter wonderland. From the looks of the posts, it seems they were in Idaho and Wyoming.
It’s important to take note that Rhys Hoskins wasn’t on the trip and neither was Kyle Schwarber. There have been a lot of talks that we might not only lose some hair in the off season, but we might lose two of our players. We know that Bryce is definitely back, but we weren’t sure about a few of our other star players. Now we know, at least two are definitely coming back.
There have been so many rumors about players leaving the team, and we have been waiting to hear what will happen with Rhys Hoskins, Aaron Nola, and Nick Castellanos. We found out a few weeks ago that Bryce Harper will officially continue playing first base, which means it’s most likely Rhys Hoskins is done as a Philadelphia Phillie. It’s a hard pill to swallow for a lot of fans, as Rhys not only has been on the team the longest of the current players, he’s played his heart out especially when the team wasn’t good. And he and his wife also did so much for the city.
We know sports is a business, but the worst part is when your favorite players leave. Rhys obviously was out all of last season after he tore his ACL at Spring Training. We were hoping if the Phillies made the World Series, he would be able to come back and play. Unfortunately, that never happened and it looks like Rhys will end his career playing for another team.
Enjoy the Phillies group shot, and there are more pics from the player’s wives below.

Phillies Rival Most Likely To Sign Rhys Hoskins
Current Contract
He just wrapped up a one year contract he signed in January of 2023. It was for $12 million and now he is officially a free agent.

Who Will Sign Him?
A lot of reports are indicating that the Chicago Cubs are VERY interested in signing Hoskins to be their first basemen including MLB Trade Rumors.
“Though Hoskins would add another right-handed bat to a lineup that already features Morel, Seiya Suzuki, Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner on a regular basis, he would provide the club with an additional power bat that the club has lacked in recent years”
Would he be a good fit in Chicago?

San Diego?
According to LastWordOnSports, this could be an option for the California native.
“Signing Rhys Hoskins could also go one of two ways. Perhaps there’s a one-year deal that could see how things go for both sides or a long-term deal with the hopes of a championship.”

The Twins?
According to PhilliesNation, this could be a landing spot for him.
“One way to do that might be bolstering a lineup that can be thin on right-handed power when the oft-injured Byron Buxton is out of the lineup.”

San Fran?
Maybe he’s really headed to play for the team he was taught to love as a kid, the San Francisco Giants, this is according to PhilliesNation.
“Hoskins — a Sacramento native — grew up a Giants fan, so playing for San Francisco would be a cool opportunity for him.”
