Kyle Schwarber is having an MVP-caliber season for the Philadelphia Phillies. He is going to be a free agent after the year, and figures to have many suitors.
Schwarber and the Phillies took on the Reds in Cincinnati on Monday night. Schwarber was born just outside of Cincinnati and hit a home run against his hometown team.
With free agency coming up, Schwarber left the door open to join the Reds.
"I've always said that at some point in your career, if you would ask the childhood Kyle what team you'd like to play for, it would be Cincinnati," Schwarber said, per The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans. "I think those are natural thoughts, that it would be appealing. But you never know what happens in free agency. Going through it a couple of times now, it's an interesting scenario."
