This was reported by The Athletic website. As a result, the 29-year-old will join star Bryce Harper, another top offensive player on the Pennsylvania roster.
Like this one, Schwarber is a former Washington Nationals color holder. Last year, the American capital team traded him to the Boston Red Sox. In total, he hit 32 homers and drove in 71 runs, while maintaining a .266 batting average.
From 2015 to 2020, the veteran played with the Chicago Cubs, winning the World Series in his second campaign. He has hit 153 long balls since his major league debut.
Greinke back in Kansas City?
As for pitcher Zack Greinke, he would return to where it all began: the 38-year-old veteran would indeed have agreed with the Kansas City Royals.
At least that’s what The Athletic reported on Wednesday. Details of the agreement have not been disclosed at this time.
Greike began his major league career with the Royals in 2004. He played for the team for seven seasons, winning the Cy-Young Trophy in 2009.
Since then, he has played with the Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and most recently, the Houston Astros. In 2021 at Texas, he went 11-6 and averaged 4.16 earned runs in 30 games, including 29 starts.
