Overview

  • Hoskins was seen in the Guardians' clubhouse in Goodyear with team gear and an assigned locker, signaling an agreement in place.
  • Multiple outlets report a Minor League contract with an MLB camp invite that converts to a $1.5 million salary if he makes the Opening Day roster.
  • The club has not formally announced the move as it awaits completion of Hoskins' physical.
  • Manager Stephen Vogt said Hoskins has a chance to make the team and outlined him as a right-handed option at first base and designated hitter.
  • The addition introduces competition with lefty bats Kyle Manzardo and C.J. Kayfus and adds right-handed power from a veteran with 186 career home runs and an .819 OPS, though his recent seasons followed an ACL tear in 2023 and a 2025 thumb injury.
