Kyle Schwarber Blasts 53 Homers, Phillies Reunion Likely Amidst Cubs Interest

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, ranked third in the upcoming free-agent class, has had an historic 2025 season, smashing 53 home runs as of September 18th – a feat achieved by only 23 other MLB hitters. The 33-year-old has become a beloved figure in Philadelphia and a key clubhouse leader. While the consensus suggests a reunion with the Phillies, the Chicago Cubs are noted as a potential suitor. If Kyle Tucker departs, the Cubs, who drafted Schwarber and won the 2016 World Series with him, would seek to bring him home to boost their offense and appease fans.
