MLB:
Given Kyle Schwarber's free-agent value and the Phillies' payroll constraints, what is the most realistic AAV and term for a Schwarber re-sign this winter?
Qwiket AI:
Schwarber's elite power and clubhouse impact push him into a premium range. Realistic terms land around 5 years at roughly $30–35 million AAV, aligning with market leaders for players of his power and leadership profile. The Phillies would balance longer term with lower annual value if needed, but expect 5 years and north of $150–175 million overall. Two key levers: tax implications and luxury-tax thresholds, which will shape the final offer.
