Good morning, Mets fans!
After years of being a divisional pest, former Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins agreed to a two-year, $34 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first to report the agreement.
The deal comes with an opt-out after the first season, according to Passan.
Hoskins, 31, missed last season after suffering a torn ACL during spring training. Prior to the injury, he was a mainstay in the middle of the Philadelphia lineup.
Hoskins hit 148 home runs, drove in 405 runs, and had an OPS of .846 over six seasons with the Phillies.
