Kyle Schwarber is off to an amazing start.
Schwarber leads the National League in home runs and has a .999 OPS. The Phillies have needed every bit of Schwarber’s offensive outburst with Bryce Harper and others not getting off to the start they had hoped for. The only downside is his price tag has risen.
Just how much could Schwarber get on the free agent market? He could do better than the four years and $79 million he got in his first contract with the Phillies. One MLB insider thinks Schwarber could make $100 million.
Jeff Passan of ESPN wrote an interesting article predicting the next batch of nine figure free-agent contracts.
