It looks like there’s no truth behind the sensational “Breaking News: Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber gets another gigantic $180 million contract”—that report isn’t real. In fact, no official contract extension of that magnitude has been signed by Schwarber as of August 29, 2025.
What’s Actually Happening
1. Schwarber Under Contract Through 2025
Kyle Schwarber is playing out the final year of a four-year, $79 million contract he signed before the 2022 season. That deal still runs through the end of the 2025 season.
