MLB Insider Shares Reds' Contact Offer to Kyle Schwarber

As the day goes on, more details are coming out about what other teams offered Kyle Schwarber.

Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies for five years, $150 million. The Orioles matched that offer, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

"The Cincinnati Reds also offered Schwarber five years, but their proposal was in the $125 million range, with room to grow," Rosenthal wrote.

The Pirates offered Schwarber a deal, but did not include a fifth year.

Like many fans suspected, the Reds offered Schwarber significantly less money and tried to convince him to sign for a discount with his hometown team.

Possibly even more concerning, Rosenthal reports that the Reds are not expected to pursue any of the other expensive free agents.

This takes the Reds out of contention for guys like Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Bo Bichette, and others.

"Their offer to Schwarber was tieed to their belief that his addition would help ticket sales."

The Reds will most likely try to find a trade partner to improve its offense for the 2026 season.
