Rhys Hoskins Finds Himself a New Team
Published:
It’s Cleveland:
Rhys is 32 and became a free agent after the Brewers declined their side of a mutual option. He played 90 games last season and slashed .237/.332/.416 with a .748 OPS. He missed time due to a UCL sprain in his right thumb and did not appear in the playoffs.
Cleveland has Kyle Manzardo as a lefty 1B/DH, then CJ Kayfus, who is also a lefty. It would seem like Rhys has the opportunity to make the Guardians as a bench bat.
There was the recent report from Devan Kaney that Bryce Harper asked Dave Dombrowski to bring back Hoskins, which Dombo allegedly declined to do. Howard Eskin then poo-pooed Kaney’s report, calling it “assinine” (sic).
