Schwarber has become a fan favorite and a major power threat in his four seasons there, hitting .507 with 187 homers while helping the team reach the postseason every single year. In the end, unless another team was ready to blow Philly’s offer out of the water, there really wasn’t much reason for anyone else to stay in the race.

Thomson even said he plans to finish his career in a Phillies uniform. And if it all goes well, he might as well want the same for Schwarber in the long run.
