Sad to see him go. Was never a great fielder but was the face of the franchise through some dog years and always hit big time homers. Gonna miss 'ya Rhys.

[polarbearg]

We'll take good care of him In Milwaukee. Go Brewers

[mhoran]

First shining light in 2017 after so many very bad years. You knew good things were coming. Thank you, sir!

[rupertpupkin]

Stinks we never got to see him DH during the NLCS. Something tells me if he would have been up with the based loaded in game 7 opposed to Rojas we would have seen different results. Atleast Rojas should be better this year!

Good Luck in Milwaukee Rhys!

[imthemachelper]

Gonna miss this dude. Happy that he was able to get a contract with a good team. Wishing him the best.

Love Rhys. Will miss you terribly, look for your #17 jersey in CBP stands, I will continue to wear it proudly!

[g.mantua]

I hope that the Brewers do well this year and I always cheer for Rhys's success.

[deepzone]

We love you Rhys! It was time. Best of luck with your squad (unless you are playing Philly)!

Sad to see him go but knew he had to go when Bryce moved to first. Personally I would rather have lost Castellanos .

[kevink]

Brewers are all about strategy, and seeing that this guy is a long-ball hitter, they're banking on him having even more than 30 HR's this year in a much friendlier ballpark for homeruns.

Rhys Hoskins deserves nothing but love from Phillies fans. He was never an all star but you know what he gave us when he was called up? luck in Milwaukee big fella and thanks or the memories 🤟

[jordandobbins]

So sad he not with us anymore but I still remember the good times he was with the Phillies

[jamesszczesniak]

now batting for the brewers number__ Rhys crowd

[G-UNIT]

Good luck out there Rhys...
Ps im keeping your phillies t shirt

[ftdaj]

Convince him to opt out of his second year in Milwaukee. Trade Schwarber. Bring Rhys in as the DH. Or, move Harper back to RF, Rhys at 1st. Castellanos at DH. Either works. He just deserves to be back.

future wall of famer, if you dont think so you're not a real phillies fan.

[joecarey]

I have his bat and ball signed. He will be misses

[Antvin]

17m per yr they through this money around like it's a toy .this is why so many kids in the moneyless countries do nothing else all day in the hopes to hit the big leagues .even veteran journeyman players are banking .

Nice guy but he's not a good fielder at first and he's streaky hitter. The '08 and '80 Phillies champions won with great defense and more than 1 player getting clutch hits throughout the playoffs. The lack of Phillies clutch hitting as a team, is the reason the Phillies didn't win the championship last 2 seasons. This 2024 team better have more clutch hitting, and much less streaky outbursts of offense if they want the championship. Relying solely on Harper along with Schwarber, and Stott to be the only heroes throughout the playoffs won't get us to the promised land. I wish the Phillies all the best, along with some wisdom, stepping up to the plate for each batting opportunity.
