Kyle Schwarber headlines a Padres-leaning off-season, with Jeff Passan tying the slugger to San Diego as a prime upgrade. Schwarber’s 2025 numbers—49 HRs, 119 RBIs, 93 walks and 10 steals in 141 games—position him as a top MVP contender and a perfect DH fit for a high-octane lineup. If SD lands him, fantasy rosters gain a deep power/OBP anchor with strong RBI pace, while reckonings around Soto, Bogaerts, and Cease shift in dynamic ways.

The piece also flags other suitors—Texas, Houston, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit—and notes the Phillies’ desire to keep Schwarber. It weaves in Soto’s star presence, Cease’s rotation upside, and Miller’s ceiling, painting a market-wide boom that would redefine NL-heavy fantasy value this winter. Offseason moves could reshape lineup construction, especially for DFS setups and keeper leagues.
