Phillies Receive Kyle Schwarber News on Tuesday

According to a recent report from Robert Murray of FanSided , the Phillies are not the only confirmed suitor. In fact, they may not even be the favorite. Rival executives expect the Boston Red Sox to be in the mix and Murray himself identified the Red Sox as Schwarber’s ideal landing spot.

“Talk to anyone around baseball and they’ll tell you the same thing: they love Kyle Schwarber. While he only played in 41 regular season games in Boston, Schwarber made an impression on the organization. During the season, manager Alex Cora said he was ‘very intrigued’ by the slugger’s upcoming free agency. A reunion for Schwarber in Boston makes sense. It’s something that rival executives are monitoring as a possibility this offseason,” reported Murray.

Schwarber’s previous stint with Boston came just before he joined Philadelphia in 2022, and he thrived there. He posted a .291 batting average, .435 on-base percentage, and .957 OPS in those 41 games. Those numbers actually surpassed his 2025 production with the Phillies, which earned him a nomination for National League MVP.

Regardless of where Schwarber ends up, his impact on a contender’s lineup is undeniable. He is a three-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner, and his presence in Philadelphia has been central to the team’s identity. He’s a clubhouse leader, a fan favorite and a consistent force in the middle of the order. The Phillies cannot afford to lose him—not just because of his numbers, but because of what he means to the city and the culture they have built.
