However, they will have to hold onto the lead without one of their best pitchers, Zack Wheeler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA timeline for Wheeler&#8217;s recovery has not yet been determined, the team said, and manager Rob Thomson told reporters he won&#8217;t know if and when Wheeler can return to the mound this season until they receive more information,\u201d USA Today\u2019s Gabe Lacques wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Following the postseason, the Phillies will face a hefty payday\u2014one large enough to keep Kyle Schwarber in the City of Brotherly Love. If they fail to retain him, Bryce Harper has already expressed how strange it would feel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was talking to somebody the other day,\u201d Harper told MLB.com. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Man, it would be weird not to have [Schwarber] in our clubhouse.\u2019 He\u2019s such a good leader. He\u2019s such a good person in the community. Great family, great person. I think he\u2019s a guy that obviously our team can build around. Obviously, he\u2019s going to make a lot of money [as a free agent]. He\u2019s going to be a very hot commodity on the market. He\u2019s a guy that hits homers. He\u2019s a great clubhouse guy and a leader. I hope he doesn\u2019t get [to free agency]. He\u2019s a guy that we can use for the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the Phillies want to keep Schwarber, the price tag could be around $150 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe&#8217;s going to fetch a large payday, and the Phillies could have a number to shoot for to avoid him leaving for another team. That number could end up in the ballpark of five years, $150 million, averaging $30 million per year. Some experts are saying that he could possibly ask for higher,\u201d TBOH\u2019s Matt Davis wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that multiple teams will enter the sweepstakes for Schwarber. However, the Phillies will undoubtedly try to bring their guy back. Since arriving in Philly, Schwarber has soared\u2014but it could soon be time for him to take his wings elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Schwarber is set to be a free agent after this season.
