Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski was asked this week about Hoskins' contract situation.
"Rhys is a tremendous player, a tremendous person, he's done a lot for the organization," Dombrowski said."So we'll just analyze and see what takes place. But we love him, we think the world of him." Hoskins hit .246/.332/.462 last season with 33 doubles and 30 home runs, the second-highest totals of his career. He earned a place in Phillies history with a dramatic three-run home run off of electric Braves pitcher Spencer Strider in the NLDS that helped move the Phillies to the next round, where he homered four times in five games against the Padres.
Hoskins has 148 home runs and 149 doubles in six seasons with the Phillies. He is their second-longest-tenured player behind Aaron Nola, who will also be a free agent after the 2023 season unless the Phils extend him first.
