Kyle Schwarber is returning to the Philadelphia Phillies on a five-year deal worth $150 million, as first broken by Jeff Passan. Pittsburgh has unfortunately woken up from the exciting dream of actually landing the top slugger on the market. Despite missing out, the fanbase should still be inspired about the effort they made to secure him.
No, the city of Pittsburgh does not want to hear "we tried" at all. That has been the message for years, and to prove that they are serious, they still need to back it up with an actual signing.
