The Philadelphia Phillies continue to win games, and it's thanks in large part to NL MVP candidate Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber hit his 41st home run of the season on Friday and continues to build on his impressive career-high .967 OPS, per MLB.com's Paul Casella. His career year has been amazing to watch but is also making it increasingly difficult for the Phillies to retain him, as he's set to be a free agent after 2025.
Schwarber has been a prolific power bat since he joined the Phillies in 2022. He's earned every bit of his initial four-year, $79 million deal.
