Zack Meisel on Rhys Hoskins, Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan & the Cleveland Guardians 2026 outlook

Rhys Hoskins remains a source of right-handed power. Jason Miller / Getty Images Feb. 22, 2026 The Cleveland Guardians, a playoff team last season despite carrying one of the league’s worst offenses, finally added to their lineup by agreeing to terms with free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins on a minor-league deal, multiple team sources told The Athletic. The deal would earn Hoskins a $1.5 million base salary if he makes the major-league roster. Hoskins was in the Guardians’ clubhouse on Sunday morning. He still needs to pass a physical. Hoskins, the No. 43-ranked free agent on The Athletic’s Top 50 Big Board, slashed .237/.332/.416 with 12 homers in 328 plate appearances for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2025. But he played sparingly down the stretch for Milwaukee, which finished with the best record in the National League but was swept by the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series, and was not on the team’s postseason roster. The career of Hoskins, who turns 33 in March, has a clear dividing line. Before missing the entirety of 2023 recovering from a torn ACL, Hoskins posted a 125 OPS+ over six seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. In the two seasons after returning from the injury, both with the Brewers, that OPS+ is just 102, making him an average producer on offense. | chrome-extension://ecabifbgmdmgdllomnfinbmaellmclnh/data/reader/index.html?id=120697646&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2Fathletic%2F6836463%2F2026%2F02%2F22%2Fmlb-rhys-hoskins-free-agency-signing-guardians%2F Subscribe and ring the bell for the latest talk about the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Cavaliers and Ohio State Buckeyes: https://bit.ly/ucss_subscribe Follow on Twitter:   / ultclesports   Watch live on YouTube 11 a.m.-1 p.m. weekdays on YouTube and WKYC+ on your Roku and Fire TV apps!
