Schwarber Inks $150M Phillies Deal, Joins USA World Baseball Classic Roster

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber agreed to a five-year, $150 million contract to remain with the team. Simultaneously, he was announced as one of four new players selected to USA's World Baseball Classic roster, joining stars like Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh. Schwarber, an MVP finalist in 2025, is listed as a DH for Team USA. He famously hit a solo home run in a 10-pitch at-bat during the 2023 WBC championship game against Japan, cutting their lead to 3-2, though USA ultimately lost.
