The Philadelphia Phillies will likely play in next month’s Postseason, but there has already been chatter regarding their offseason plans.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com recently reported that league executives largely believe that All-Star Kyle Schwarber will remain with the Phillies on a four or five-year deal.
“I don’t know how the Phillies let him leave,” an NL executive told Feinsand. “I have to believe they’ll do everything they can to keep him.”
“Among those we spoke to, the consensus is that Schwarber should land a deal of four or five years for at least $30 million per season, Feinsand wrote. “The days of signing players into their 40s are largely a thing of the past, but locking up Schwarber through his age-36 or age-37 season seems like it should be in play.”
