Exercises $18 million player option

Hoskins exercised his $18 million player option for 2025 on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hoskins could perhaps have netted a multi-year deal on the open market, but it's unlikely he would have been able to top an average annual salary of $18 million. In his first year back from ACL surgery, Hoskins slashed .214/.303/.419 with 26 home runs across 131 regular-season games for the Brewers. Slated to turn 32 in March, Hoskins should be Milwaukee's primary first baseman again in 2025, with some starts at designated hitter mixed in.
