The Philadelphia Phillies have signed Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million contract, keeping him with the team through his late thirties. This deal, similar to Jim Thomes successful signing, reflects the Phillies confidence in Schwarbers power potential. However, the risks of such a long, expensive contract for a designated hitter are significant, as few players maintain high home run totals in their late thirties. The Phillies commitment to winning now is evident, with Schwarber secured and a focus on finding another power bat to strengthen their lineup.DNN | The Daily News Now!The world’s first global local news network.Every city.
