The Milwaukee Brewers have had an interesting offseason.
They seem to be stuck in the middle of deciding if they want to go all-in or not.
Last season, the Brewers won the NL Central but were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs.
This offseason, they traded pitcher Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles, making it seem like they would be entering a rebuild.
But, then they went out and signed first baseman Rhys Hoskins.
So it appears the Brewers still want to compete for a playoff spot in 2024.
If that is the case, Hoskins will need to have a good season.
MLB Network asked fans how many home runs they think Hoskins will hit this season.
The answers may surprise you.
Some fans are more optimistic than others, but around 30 seems like a realistic expectation.

After missing all of last season, Hoskins must be chomping at the bit to get back out there.
He could even be in store for a career-high in home runs.
36. no more no less https://t.co/qBBumHpKfX

Some fans even think Hoskins could be traded this season if things are not going well for the Brewers.
Hoskins has always been a fan favorite in Philadelphia and some hope he could be traded back.
17 for the Brewers & 18 when he gets traded back to Philly at the deadline.

That would certainly be a turn of events if Hoskins ends up back in Philadelphia.
Hoskins hit a career-high 34 home runs in 2018.
It would be a great comeback season for him if he can get 30+ in his first year off a torn ACL.
It seems like many fans are expecting a big year from the soon-to-be 31-year-old.
