Brewers' Rhys Hoskins exercises his $18 million option for 2025 season
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins exercised his $18 million option for 2025 rather than take a $4 million buyout and again become a free agentNOVEMBER 1 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exercises $18 million player option Hoskins exercised his $18 million player option for 2025 on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's possible Hoskins could have netted a multi-year deal on the open market, but it's unlikely he would have been able to top an average annual salary of $18 million. In his first year back from ACL surgery, Hoskins slashed .214/.303/.419with 26 home runs across 131 games for the Brewers. Slated to turn 32 in March, Hoskins should be Milwaukee's primary first baseman again in 2025, with some starts at designated hitter mixed in.
