After an all-time great performance at the All-Star game, Kyle Schwarber earned a heartfelt message from Phillies skipper Rob Thomson.

The lefty stepped to the plate when a 6-6 tie after nine innings sent the midsummer classic to the first "swing-off" in the game's history. Schwarber efficiently used his three swings to launch three homers and beat the American League 4-3 in the "Home Runs For The Win" contest that decided the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies aren’t ready to say goodbye to their star slugger quite yet as Kyle Schwarber’s four-year, $79-million contract expires at the end of the season.

Since Schwarber signed with the Phillies in 2022, he has hit 162 with the club — the third-most home runs in baseball behind only Aaron Judge (192) and Shohei Ohtani (164). His 12 home runs in the postseason since 2022 are tied with teammate Bryce Harper for the most in baseball.

The Philadelphia Phillies have some key decisions to make this offseason, but perhaps none bigger than the choice they face with Kyle Schwarber.
