Philadelphia Phillies‘ designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is among the premier free agents on the open market this offseason and is widely expected to ink a substantial deal.
Schwarber’s 4-year, $79 million contract with the Phillies that he signed during the 2022 offseason officially expired at the end of the 2025 season, and the slugger is a free agent for the first time since then. After a 2025 campaign that included an MVP candidacy, 56 home runs, and 132 runs batted in, just about every expert and analyst is predicting that his next deal will be a major pay raise for the 32-year-old.
The Phillies have, for obvious reasons, been highly connected to Schwarber, and have seemingly placed him at or near the top of their offseason priority list. As they continue to chase a World Series title, replacing his production would be no easy feat. He has expressed his love for the team, fans, and city on multiple occasions, and the two sides continue to be a great fit for one another.
While nothing is guaranteed, or even close to it, the resolution of his free agency has continued to be guessed as a reunion with Philadelphia.
