Rhys Hoskins Free Agency Ends, New Team Announced

Rhys Hoskins free agency has been on everyone’s mind and at this point, where will he sign? All we know is that he will not be a Philadelphia Phillies player.

Rhys Hoskins Free Agency Updates

Since it was announced that Bryce Harper will remain at first base, it was then determined that Rhys Hosking would not be signed on for the club’s 2024 season and beyond.

If you recall, Rhys Hoskins suffered a season ending injury during Spring Training, you can see the video here but fair warning, it ain’t pretty to look at. He didn’t take the field once during the regular or postseason and then his contract was up.

Where Will Hoskins Go?

That’s the big question! He’s one of the biggest stars to hit free agency and arguably the best first basemen on the board when it comes to free agents. The first rumor circulating was that he would become a member of the Chicago Cubs.

But that didn’t end up happening. So where will he end up? Our only hope is that he will NOT be playing for a National League East team so that we don’t have to play him all the time. That’s the good news, it’s National League but not in the east, actually in the central division.

He will be signing for a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, last year’s National League Central Champions! It’s hard to see him go but it’s great to see him off on another adventure. Can only wish him the best.

9 Best Looking Phillies Players

The starting pitcher has had an on and off year but in the final month of the season he has really turned some things around. He is in his contract year meaning he needed to really perform well this season to command getting a big contract at the end of this season. Let’s see how he does in the postseason!

They call him “America’s Catcher” because he started for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic earlier this year. He has, similar to Nola, had a difficult season. At the plate, we haven’t seen the numbers we were hoping for but behind the plate (catching) he is such a force to reckoned with.

The new guy! Our starting shortstop made the list. He got a standing ovation from the Phillies fans after a difficult first half of the season and since then he has been unstoppable. Maybe he should be higher with how much Philly has embraced him!
6. Seranthony Dominguez

He’s got one heck of an arm out of the bullpen and quite frankly, one of the coolest if not the coolest name on the team. Seranthony also is one of those players that keep things light in the bullpen and dugout.

He’s been out the season after having torn his ACL during a Spring Training game. Rumors swirling around if he can possibly come back to pinch hit during the postseason! That would be pretty awesome. No pressure for him to play first base with Bryce Harper filling that void.
4. Nick Castellanos

He’s kind of giving that bad boy vibe but he’s such a heartbreaker. His son is at almost every home game and they are always chatting it up and high fiving eachother. He was our lone representative at the All Star Game (that wasn’t a pitcher) and he’s getting ready for another postseason run.
3. Bryson Stott

He’s had a great season this year now at second base. He’s one of the best two strike hitters in the game right now. He needs more love and attention on him because he’s doing great things for the Phillies and his fiancee is expecting! So exciting.
2. Bryce Harper

Need we say more? He’s an absolute animal out there. He learned a new position just to be able to come back and contribute to the team more. He started off the season recovering from an offseason injury and now he continues to be our leader!
Here's Number 1!

You know him, you love him. Alec Bohm, our starting third basemen. He can also play first so he’s got both corners covered. He’s had a heck of season massing a personal best in most of the statistic categories.
