Baseball — 12/20/2023

The first baseman Eric Hosmer had ever been a part of a trade before his 2022 deadline departure from the Padres for the Boston Red Sox.

Up until that point, the native Miamian had no experience switching teams. Hosmer was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the first round of 2008 and remained with the team until being transferred to the San Diego Padres in 2018. So, Hosmer was accustomed to establishing permanent residences.

That is precisely what he accomplished in Boston. Nearby Newton, Massachusetts, he and his wife Kacie McDowell bought a stunning estate. Less than thirty days following the first baseman’s trade to the Red Sox, Hosmer and McDowell reportedly paid around $6.15 million to buy the house, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. A price of $6.575 million was listed for it in February.

The property has a basic yet concise layout that relies on light color schemes. It has multiple fireplaces, a kitchen with granite countertops, and a sitting room surrounded by large windows that showcase the garden. Extensive vegetation complements the home’s facade, which features a rustic red-brick design.

Despite the undeniable beauty of the residence, the Hosmers were unable to savor it for the duration they had anticipated. After playing in just 14 games due to injuries in 2022, Eric Hosmer was dismissed by the Boston Red Sox on December 16th after a dismal performance with a.244/.320/.311 batting line and four RBIs.

 

 

Eric Hosmer is still making over $39 million every season as part of his eight-year, $144 million 2018 contract with the San Diego Padres. But Hosmer hasn’t looked to be able to get the same kind of traction out of his bat since they broke off their relationship with the Friars.

With the Padres’ rich contract in hand, Eric Hosmer may be able to retire early.

The 2023 season was Hosmer’s return to the saddle; he signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Cubs. But the veteran fell into the same problems in Chicago that had gotten him fired from the Red Sox. Hosmer was let go by the Cubs in May of last year after hitting.234 in 31 games.

Finding a new contract for 2024 will be difficult for Hosmer because his оffensive productivity is significantly lower than it once was. It could be Hosmer’s smartest move to ride out his rich Padres deal into retirement while it’s still paying off.
