The Phillies non-tendered Hays on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Hays had been projected to make more than $6 million in his final year of arbitration eligibility, and the Phillies have opted to send him to free agency rather than give him a raise. The 29-year-old slashed only .255/.303/.396 over 85 games in 2024 while splitting time between the Orioles and Phillies. He had a solid .262/.314/.437 career line prior to this past season and can handle all three outfield spots, so Hays shouldn't have trouble finding a gig elsewhere.
