GOODYEAR, Ariz. \u2014 The Cleveland Guardians have agreed to a minor league deal with first baseman Rhys Hoskins.<\/p>\n
The deal is pending Hoskins passing a physical, but he was with the team on Sunday. Manager Stephen Vogt told reporters he is excited to have Hoskins added as a right-handed hitter who can compete for time at first base and designated hitter.<\/p>\n
Hoskins, 32, will compete with two left-handed hitters, Kyle Manzardo and C.J. Kayfus, at first base.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got a chance to come into camp, make an impact and possibly make the team,\u201d Vogt told Cleveland.com. \u201cHe\u2019s a right-handed bat who can play first base and DH. Obviously, we don\u2019t have a lot of right-handed bats in camp.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hoskins played for Milwaukee the last two seasons following six seasons with Philadelphia. He hit .237 with 12 homers in 279 at-bats last season after hitting .214 with 26 homers and 82 RBIs in 2024.<\/p>\n
The Brewers declined their $18 million option on Hoskins after last season. Hoskins received a $4 million buyout that completed a $34 million, two-year contract. MLB.com reported Hoskins would earn $1.5 million from Cleveland if he makes the opening day roster.<\/p>\n
