Rhys Hoskins' time in Milwaukee is officially over after the Brewers declined his $18 million club option for the 2026 season.
In truth, that was a mere formality after Hoskins injured his thumb and lost playing time down the stretch to Andrew Vaughn. He didn't even make the team's postseason roster, and he'll receive a $4 buyout after the unceremonious end to his Brewers tenure.
However, it wasn't all bad for Hoskins, who had inspiring moments throughout the life of his two-year, $34 million contract (which was always a gamble after he missed the 2023 season with a torn ACL).
