3 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies and free-agent outfielder Kyle Schwarber agreed to a four-year contract on Wednesday. According to Jayson Stark of The Athletic, it's a four-year deal worth up to $20 million annually. The 29-year-old will join a loaded Philadelphia Phillies lineup, including Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, and Rhys Hoskins. Schwaber slashed .266/.374/.554 slash line with 32 home runs, 76 runs, and 71 RBI across 471 plate appearances for the Red Sox/Nationals in 2021. The new Phillies slugger consistently mashes 30 home runs, and his power bat should fit in nicely playing half of his games in hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber is 37th among all outfielders in the latest Rotoballer rankings, but expect that number to rise with the latest news.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
