Potential contingency plans for Phillies if another team woos Schwarber

Difficult as it may be to consider, there is a real possibility that a team other than the Phillies swoops in to make Kyle Schwarber an offer he can’t refuse this offseason.

He turns 33 in March, he’s a designated hitter, but those factors will mitigate his price tag only partially. Despite his age and lack of positional versatility, he’s coming off the two best seasons of his career and is one of the biggest offensive game-changers in all of baseball. Fifty-six home runs and 132 RBIs make up for plenty. All you have to do is peruse Schwarber’s 2025 game log to be reminded that he had only two minor slumps all season, never went more than 10 games without a homer and was the Phillies’ most impactful hitter dozens of nights.
