At the end of your application, please fill in the blank:  After the ____ season ends, assuming the CBA remains unchanged and he does not sign a contract extension or go to the minors, Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins will become a free agent.  Rather than give an explanation, simply write, “Hoskins question: [Year]” at the end.
