Wednesday was a big day for Kyle Schwarber and his family. Not only did he sign a $79 million deal with the Phillies, he welcomed his first child only one hour after he signed on the dotted line.
Schwarber was officially introduced in a press conference held in Clearwater on Monday morning. The 29-year-old outfielder said his wife went into labor one hour after he agreed to a deal, and he is now the father of a baby boy. He called it the “best day of my life.” Congrats, Schwarbs!
Kyle Schwarber was joined by Phillies field manager Joe Girardi and President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski for the press conference which was streamed live on MLB Network and Phillies official social media accounts.
