The Philadelphia Phillies are preparing for the 2025 season with minimal roster changes, primarily adding Jordan Romano and Jesus Luzardo. Key players such as Ranger Suarez, J.T. Realmuto, and Kyle Schwarber will enter free agency soon. The team has successfully retained core players in the past, and there's a push for extensions, especially for Schwarber, who has expressed interest in staying. The Phillies are expected to prioritize Schwarber's contract negotiations, highlighting their desire to maintain a strong team while facing potential departures.
It seems possible that the club could employ a similar tactic with at least some of the core pieces set to depart after the current season.
Schwarber told reporters that he hasn't heard of any extension talks but that he would have interest working something out to stay in Philadelphia.
Realmuto and the Phillies reportedly have mutual interest in working out an extension, suggesting a possible step towards maintaining stability for the team.
Since arriving in Philadelphia prior to the 2022 season, Schwarber has emerged as one of the most reliable sluggers in the game.
