Kyle Schwarber Asked About Joining Hometown Team in FA
When asked about joining his hometown Cincinnati youth in free agency by Scott Lauber of the Inquirer, Kyle Schwarber candidly said, “Being able to play for your childhood team is something that I think it’d be awesome.”
Awesome, you might add Lauber decided to ask, “Being a baseball fan and growing up and watching Cincinnati baseball for your whole youth, that’s how fall in love with baseball, I would draw your attention, right?”
The Reds are in the thick of a Wild Card race with first year manager Terry Francona leading a 58-54 record. Cincinnati has pitching prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder called up and you could argue the best home run leader of his generation compared to Babe Ruth would make a swing for the fences in Great American Ball Park.
Citizens Bank Park might become more dwindling as days countdown. We will never know an answer unless the Philadelphia Phillies, play ball to the drum of the history of Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber.

There is a lot about the future of the Tampa Bay Rays but their competition is steep. Los Angeles bench ranks sixth as of August 4, 2025 compared to 4th, 2024.

The Aftermath of MLB Trade Deadline
Last night was an interesting spectacle of walk-offs.
JP Crawford of the Seattle Mariners helped out when Eugenio Suarez was struggling to start and Logan Gilbert struck out seven to deliver the win for the second place team in the AL West.
Meanwhile, in Philly. The Philadelphia Phillies saw Bryce Harper get disqualified and it was not good. Harper needs to calm down. But the team prevailed with Otto Kemp’s base hit to left and Nick Casellano’s run scored. Jhoan Duran made his impressive debut.
O’Neil Cruz stayed on the Pittsburgh Pirates and delivered the 3rd longest grand slam of the season with a 451 ft tower. It was not enough as the Colorado Rockies won over Pittsburgh by a final score of 17-16 with Brenton Doyle’s walk-off.
