There have been a few teams interested in free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins. Per, multiple sources. Rhys Hoskins missed all last season due to an ACL tear. There's some teams that just make more sense then other teams. Down below will be three teams who could potentially sign Rhys Hoskins.

 

Chicago Cubs

Earlier this off-season, the Chicago Cubs signed Craig Counsell to be their manager for the next five years, worth a total of $40 million. Although, the Cubs haven't done anything since signing Counsell. That's a very questionable move due to the fact that Craig Counsell is a good manager, so it would make sense for the Cubs to spend big, and Rhys Hoskins could be a perfect fit to begin that.

 

Seattle Mariners

The Mariners haven't spent much this off-season. They have been looking for a good first baseman for a while. They have some other stars on the team, and Rhys Hoskins would be a great player to fill their hole at first base. It would be a good fit on many levels, from adding another good player to adding a good first baseman, which is what the Mariners need.

 

San Diego Padres

The Padres have cleared up some money, so they have some cleared up money to spend. The Padres need to add another bat to go along with Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Xander Bogartes. The Padres recently traded Juan Soto. Rhys Hoskins would be a great fit for the San Diego Padres.

 

Hoskins, just 30-years-old, has spent his entire career with the Philadelphia Phillies. As mentioned above, Hoskins missed all of the 2023 season, although he's shown what he can do. Rhys Hoskins has played 667 career games, in that time Hoskins has slashed .242/.353/.492, with 148 HR's, 405 RBI's, and a .846 OPS.


It's unknown what type of contract Rhys Hoskins is going to get. It could be a longer type contract, or a shorter contract. No matter what, whoever lands Rhys Hoskins is going to be lucky. They will get a player who you can rely on, and most importantly, Rhys Hoskins is a great clubhouse guy.
