Hoskins, Quintana to Become Free Agents After Brewers Decline 2026 Options (Copy)
Hoskins and Quintana become free agents after Brewers decline $33 million combined options; Contreras remains under team control, eligible for arbitration by Nov. 21 deadline.
- On Nov. 4, the Milwaukee Brewers declined options on Rhys Hoskins, José Quintana, and William Contreras, sending two to free agency and re-entering arbitration with Contreras, Passan reported.
- After Hoskins missed two months with a thumb injury, the Brewers used a cheaper internal replacement, and Quintana's $15 million mutual option was judged too costly for 2026.
- Hoskins batted.237 with a.332 on-base percentage, 12 homers and 43 RBIs in 90 games this 2025 season.
- The moves trigger buyouts of $4 million for Rhys Hoskins, $2 million for José Quintana, and a $100,000 buyout for William Contreras, who remains under club control and eligible for arbitration if tendered by Nov. 21.
- The Milwaukee Brewers expect to work out arbitration with William Contreras, who has team control through 2027, unless they trade him, and may pursue José Quintana at a lower cost than $15 million for 2026 roster decisions.
