Why Kyle Schwarber is a Coward

Kyle Schwarber is a coward for all the right reasons. He is arrogant, manipulative, and powerful. It has led him to NL MVP conversations over the course of this season. Manager Rob Thomson could not get enough of praising him while his job was on the line.

The Phillies have until September 28, 2025 to determine whether they are the crowning achievers of the NL East. Schwarber started his career in Chicago, Washington, and Boston. Why all of a sudden is he hitting the ball so fantastic?

It is simply because of getting accustomed to playing in Citizens Bank Park and playing behind a No.1 hitter, still, in 2021 NL MVP, Bryce Harper. Harper is the essence of the Philadelphia Phillies organization, not Schwarber. Schwarber made up his mind after all the dingers, community fundraising, and Dave Dombrowski that this team was headed in a new direction with or without him.

The Phillies have a gigantic decision to make which they have never done in their organizational philosophy. Do you overpay a surmountable money to a player that is passing through colors of his prime in Philadelphia or trust the cap-off of a 2025 MLB World Series?

It was cowardice Schwarber did not extend a deal with one of the best organizations in professional baseball but nobody knows where his heart or Cal Raleigh’s lies just yet until they ultimately go and play MLB postseason team baseball.

It has been an interesting season of baseball. There is nobody still as transcendent looking on the outside such as Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge who are hanging onto every last breath with their respective teams from last year’s World Series classic between Los Angeles and New York.
