US EditionPhillies To Resign Kyle Schwarber To $150 Million Contract: Report
- On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Phillies re-signed Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million contract, ESPN's Jeff Passan first reported and MLB.com's Mark Feinsand confirmed.
- The Phillies prioritized re-signing Kyle Schwarber after he led the National League with 56 home runs and 132 RBIs and finished second in MVP voting in the 2025 season.
- The deal is notable because it is the largest free-agent contract ever given to a primary designated hitter, and Kyle Schwarber played all 162 games this year, achieving a historic four-homer game.
- The signing keeps Kyle Schwarber in Philadelphia through 2030 with Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and Aaron Nola, and shifts the offseason focus to re-signing J.T. Realmuto and Ranger Suarez.
- After a frenzied free-agent sweepstakes, multiple clubs including the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Cincinnati Reds pursued Kyle Schwarber before Philadelphia's late push secured him under owner John Middleton and president Dave Dombrowski's top-five payroll.
