The Phillies and Schwarber agreed to a five-year, $150 million contract Tuesday to keep the designated hitter and clubhouse leader in Philadelphia for the next half-decade, CBS Sports confirmed. ESPN's Jeff Passan was first to report the agreement.
Schwarber entered free agency after slugging a career-high and NL-most 56 home runs and driving in an MLB-best 132 runs in 2025. He finished the season hitting .240/.365/.563 with a .928 OPS, tying his career high. He finished second in NL MVP voting .
Since originally signing with the Phillies in 2022 , Schwarber has established himself as one of the best power hitters in franchise history. He's slugged 187 homers in 627 career game
