However, the first baseman is attracting interest from his one team in the middle of the National League.<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Cubs are reportedly &#8220;in talks&#8221; with Hosmer, and their interest is &#8220;promising.&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonHeyman\/status\/1609309095189790721?s=20&amp;t=apodU9fKDQeFmxCj9p1FmQ\" target=\"_blank\">According to John Heyman<\/a> of the New York Post. It&#8217;s the second time this month that Heyman has linked Hosmer and Chicago. Meanwhile, the Cubs have been active this offseason, acquiring Dunsby Swanson for $177 million.<\/p>\n<p>As for Hosmer, the former World Series champion is looking for a clean slate. <\/p>\n<p>Hosmer, 33, has yet to rediscover his stride in the once All-Star.Since he joined the San Diego Padres in 2018, he still owes $39 million.Hosmer&#8217;s power , slumped in his final 20-plus home run season coming into 2019. Over the past six seasons, Hosmer has scored -3.6 dWAR in his 610 games.<\/p>\n<p>For the Red Sox, it wasn&#8217;t a pretty picture either. 311 in his 45 at-bats with Boston, with only 11 hits for him. He also had 4 RBI in 3 doubles in 14 games.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Red Sox pulled the trigger and acquired DFA Hosmer after finalizing a trade for pitcher Wyatt Mills with the Kansas City Royals. With up-and-coming first baseman Triston Casas debuting last season, keeping Hosmer far beyond his prime would make little to no sense. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Hosmer can fill the Cubs&#8217; short-term veteran void. With the Padres set to pay most of Hosmer&#8217;s remaining salary, taking the flyer wouldn&#8217;t be a complete loss for Chicago. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>\n\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\tfbq('init', '657944992269625');\n\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t<\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js?ver=27.0.20221230203638\" id='facebook-sdk-js'><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiX2h0dHBzOi8vbmVzbi5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi9tbGItcnVtb3JzLWV4LXJlZC1zb3gtZXJpYy1ob3NtZXItaGFzLXByb21pc2luZy1pbnRlcmVzdC1mcm9tLW5sLXRlYW0v0gFjaHR0cHM6Ly9uZXNuLmNvbS8yMDIyLzEyL21sYi1ydW1vcnMtZXgtcmVkLXNveC1lcmljLWhvc21lci1oYXMtcHJvbWlzaW5nLWludGVyZXN0LWZyb20tbmwtdGVhbS9hbXAv?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Eric Hosmer&#8217;s tenure with the Boston Red Sox was short-lived.
