The Giants are among the list of teams that have checked in on the left-handed slugger, per MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
Adding another left-handed power hitter to go along with Rafael Devers is one of the many offseason needs for San Francisco’s roster. Schwarber fits the bill.
Schwarber spent the previous four seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. He played in all 162 regular-season games, leading the National League with 56 home runs while also leading MLB with 132 runs batted in.
He served as the Phillies’ designated hitter in 154 games and started in left field for the other eight.

Schwarber has hit at least 32 home runs in his previous five seasons. For the Giants, Willy Adames is the only player to reach 30 home runs in a season since 2004.
In 2022, Schwarber and the Phillies agreed to a four-year, $79 million deal. His market value is just shy of $25 million per year, according to Spotrac.
As expected, many teams are showing interest in Schwarber. Although Schwarber may find a new home come spring, re-signing with Philadelphia is not out of the picture.
