Brewers Consider Trading Rhys Hoskins

The Milwaukee Brewers are considering trading first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who is set to earn $18 million in 2025, due to ongoing budget constraints. Hoskins, who suffered a torn ACL in 2023 but managed to hit 26 home runs in 2024, may require the Brewers to add cash and a prospect to facilitate a trade. Meanwhile, the Brewers also face challenges in their infield following the departure of star shortstop Willy Adames to the San Francisco Giants, leading them to consider signing infielder Ha-Seong Kim. The Atlanta Braves have bolstered their outfield depth by signing Bryan De La Cruz, who had a solid 2024 season and will help while Ronald Acuña Jr. recovers from injury. Overall, the Brewers' financial limitations are forcing them into tough decisions as they seek to remain competitive in the near future.
