Would you offer Kyle Schwarber a $100M contract?
It’s hard not to see Kyle Schwarber as one of the best free agent signings in Phillies history. Since joining the team prior to the 2022 season on a 4 year, $72M contract, Schwarber’s .843 OPS is second on the Phillies only to Bryce Harper’s .885 among players with at least 500 plate appearances over that span. Schwarber’s 143 home runs are far and away the best, almost exactly double Harper’s second-best total of 75. His 12 postseason home runs are tied with Harper for the most in franchise history. All of this plus being the leader of a clubhouse and a proven winner have made him a fan favorite in Philadelphia.
