Kyle Schwarber sends a message to the Philadelphia Phillies front office amid his upcoming free agency, expressing confidence in his ability to play well at an older age.

Schwarber, two homers shy of 300, has always slugged. But he’s become more than that for the Phillies with free agency on the horizon.

Only one player from the Cubs' World Series core remains in the MLB as a true star. That's Kyle Schwarber, who is in the midst of a league-leading on-base streak.

Kyle Schwarber is off to a torrid start in the 2025 season, and his on-base streak has caught the attention of everyone in the Phillies clubhouse.

MLB player prop bets and odds for Kyle Joseph Schwarber on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, as the Philadelphia Phillies take on the St. Louis Cardinals.

After signing a four-year, $79 million deal to join the Phillies in 2022, Schwarber could become a free agent at the end of the season if the Phillies don't lock him into an extension first. And as he leads the National League in homers going into Monday, he's sure to have plenty of suitors if he can keep up his current pace.

The Phillies have said they’ll take things slow with Painter, their top prospect and one of the top prospects in baseball, after his Tommy John surgery last year. The goal is to build him up to 90/95 pitches, which will likely be his max this year, before a big league return.

The St. Louis Cardinals have been one of the better teams in baseball this month, and Kyle Leahy is a huge reason why.
