John Smoltz praises Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber for a legendary Home Run Derby swing-off performance at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

Schwarber enters the second half of the season with 30 home runs and 69 RBIs, helping lead the Phillies to the top of the NL East. He’s hit 46, 47, and 38 homers in each of the past three seasons, and he’s driven in over 100 runs two years in a row. Even with his move from the leadoff spot, his power production hasn’t slowed.

Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton confirmed that the team is interested in signing designated hitter Kyle Schwarber to a new contract.

Philadelphia Phillies stars Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner had a rather hilarious baserunning mix-up during Saturday's game.

Schwarber, 32, is eligible for free agency after the season. Although there’s mutual interest, talks didn’t progress in spring training, and the sides agreed to table things until after the season.

Now 32, Schwarber is one of several core Phillies players scheduled to hit free agency after this season, along with catcher J.T. Realmuto and lefty Ranger Suárez. As owner John Middleton said Friday, keeping Schwarber beyond 2025 is a priority. Here's what Middleton told reporters, including the Associated Press:
