If the Red Sox want to keep Kyle Schwarber, it appears that they’ll have to pay up but not make a significant long-term commitment.
Schwarber, a free agent, is asking for a three-year, $60 million deal, the Miami Herald‘s Barry Jackson and Craig Mish reported.
The Red Sox have reportedly shown interest in bringing back Schwarber, whom they traded for at the trade deadline in July. But they have some competition to bring back the slugger. The Phillies have had “serious” discussions with Schwarber, NBC Sports Philadelphia reported. The Marlins, Rockies, and “more” have also shown interest, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reported.
