Mandatory Credit: Jim Cowsert-Imagn Images1 | Jim Cowsert-Imagn Images<\/p>\n The Brewers have been quiet this offseason. They’re going to need to be a little more active if they want to remain on top in the National League Central. Hoskins struggled in 2025, hitting .237\/.332\/.416<\/a> with just 12 home runs. But he still is a solid power threat and a good option for first base and the outfield.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n If the Brewers let him go, then it will be clear that they are putting their faith in Vaughn at first base. But not having Hoskins back might be a bit of a gamble, especially if Vaughn doesn’t repeat his 2025 success.<\/p>\n The Brewers have been able to get by over the past several years without having to be very active in the offseason, but they could use a little more offense, and after the Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman, they should be looking for a way to counter that.<\/p>\n However, they have remained quiet and it doesn’t appear that they have anything on the horizon. But it should be interesting to see what they decide to do at first base.<\/p>\n The safest bet would be to trust Vaughn, but also have somebody that could be used in a pinch if he regresses, and that is where Hoskins would come in handy for this team.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n He could boost the Nationals’ lineup significantly, but the Brewers need him more, as they are trying to contend again in 2026, even after the Peralta trade.<\/p>\n It will be interesting to see what the Brewers decide to do. They can’t keep relying on a passive approach if they want to remain competitive for years to come.<\/p>\n More MLB: Brewers Sign 3-Year MLB Veteran Away From Phillies<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Brewers\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/95555d60c91730bc9537bbde05cbe783.jpeg\"\/)
