Until then, here are Saturday's MLB rumors. The Phillies and Kyle Schwarber have had broad extension talks this spring, according to The Athletic. No deal is imminent, however. Schwarber will be a free agent after the season and has expressed a desire to remain with Philadelphia long-term.

Schwarber is entering the final season of his four-year free agent deal. The $79MM investment has paid off handsomely for the Phillies. He has hit .221/.344/.488 with 131 homers in a little more than 2000 plate appearances. Only Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani have hit more home runs over the last three seasons.

Schwarber has the team in mind, but adding first base isn't the worst idea going into a contract year. This spring, he has a modest mission.

Phillies teams with Schwarber leading off have been successful, but it might be time to shuffle up that part of the lineup.

The Philadelphia Phillies want Kyle Schwarber to become more versatile and he has been happy to oblige. After spending last year as the Phillies’ designated hitter, the 31-year-old played first base for the first time since 2021 on Thursday in an effort to add depth to Philadelphia’s infield.
