MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins exercised his $18 million option for 2025 rather than take a $4 million buyout and again become a free agent. Hoskins had signed a $34 million, two-year contract in January after missing 2023 due to a torn ACL sustained while fielding a grounder in a spring training game. The deal includes an $18 million mutual option for 2026 with a $4 million buyout. The 31-year-old hit .214 with a .303 on-base percentage, .419 slugging percentage, 26 homers and 82 RBIs this season. His batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage were career lows.
