Kyle Schwarber is out there on the free agent market, and Philadelphia Phillies fans are hopeful that he'll re-sign and finish his career in red pinstripes. Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long is also hopeful of Schwarber's return and recently predicted that there's a good chance it will happen.
Schwarber is coming off a season with career highs in multiple statistics, including 4.9 fWAR. He led the National League with 56 home runs and his 132 RBIs were the most in MLB. He is one of the top free agents available and has several rumored suitors besides Philadelphia.
Long spoke about Schwarber's free agency with The Philadelphia Inquirer's Scott Lauber on the Phillies Extra podcast and about the chances of free agent Schwarber returning to the Phillies on a new contract.
