Philadelphia Phillies news
| November 9, 2025
Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber has addressed growing rumors linking him to potential contract talks with other Major League Baseball teams this offseason. Reports have suggested that several clubs, including the Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs, have shown interest in the veteran power hitter.
However, Schwarber made it clear that his heart — and his loyalty — remain in Philadelphia.
“Philly is home,” Schwarber said when asked about the rumors. “The love here is massive — from the fans, the city, and the organization. I’m proud to wear this jersey, and my focus is on winning with the Phillies.”
Schwarber, who joined the Phillies in 2022, has been a key part of the team’s recent success, helping lead them to multiple postseason runs with his trademark power and leadership in the clubhouse. His connection with the Philadelphia fan base has grown stronger each year, fueled by his high-energy play and clutch performances in October.
While speculation continues about offseason trades and free agency across MLB, Schwarber’s comments appear to put to rest any doubt about his commitment to Philadelphia — at least for now.
“There’s always talk this time of year,” he added. “But for me, it’s simple — I love this city, I love this team, and I’m ready to help us get back to the World Series.”
The Phillies have not commented on any external interest in Schwarber, but sources close to the organization suggest that the team values him highly both on and off the field.
With his power bat, veteran presence, and strong bond with the city, Schwarber remains one of the defining figures of the Phillies’ current era — and, as he made clear, he isn’t planning on leaving anytime soon.
