Episode Synopsis

The Philadelphia Phillies are determined to retain their star slugger, Kyle Schwarber, heading into free agency. Despite interest from the Cincinnati Reds and other teams like the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, and Baltimore Orioles, baseball insiders believe Schwarber will stay with the Phillies. His impressive performance, including two NL home run titles and an MVP-caliber season, has made him a highly sought-after player. The Reds public display of affection, inviting Schwarber and his family to throw out the first pitch, further underscores their desire. However, the Phillies president, Dave Dombrowski, is believed to understand Schwarbers value, potentially making it challenging for other teams to lure him away.DNN | The Daily News Now!The world’s first global local news network.Every city.
