Phillies, Kyle Schwarber
Digest more
MLB insider Jayson Stark believes that Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber's All-Star MVP has helped his outlook heading into free agency.
Kyle Schwarber says he doesn't expect to sign an in-season contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies, despite the mutual interest.
Schwarber enters the second half of the season with 30 home runs and 69 RBIs, helping lead the Phillies to the top of the NL East. He’s hit 46, 47, and 38 homers in each of the past three seasons, and he’s driven in over 100 runs two years in a row. Even with his move from the leadoff spot, his power production hasn’t slowed.

Losing Kyle Schwarber would be a disaster for the Philadelphia Phillies. For a team that’s already shown below-average power over the past few months, the Phillies absolutely can't lose their top power hitter.
Philadelphia Phillies legend Ryan Howard broke down an interesting hypothetical Home Run Derby between himself and outfielder Kyle Schwarber.
Other Phillies players, including Cristopher Sánchez and Trea Turner, didn’t earn All-Star nods, drawing ire from their teammates and pundits across the city, especially after Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski — who has played a total of five MLB games — received an invite.
