Philadelphia, PA – In an emotional moment, Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber offered a heartfelt thank you and apology to fans after the team was eliminated from the NLDS in a tense 11-inning game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Schwarber, who had a stellar 2025 season with 56 home runs and 132 RBIs, said:
“I know the fans had high hopes for us. We fought hard, but in the end, we couldn’t come away with a win. I’m sorry we couldn’t live up to your expectations.”
He continued:
“I want to thank you all for your continued support throughout the season. Philadelphia is a great city, and I’m proud to play for you.”
This is the final season of Schwarber’s four-year, $79 million contract with the Phillies. With him set to become a free agent this summer, Schwarber’s future in Philadelphia is uncertain. However, he insisted:
“I’m not thinking about the future. Right now, I just want to focus on getting better and getting ready for next season.”
During his time with the Phillies, Schwarber left a lasting impression on fans. He was the one who introduced the song “Dancing on My Own” to the team’s locker room, creating a special cultural icon in Philadelphia. Although this season did not end as expected, Schwarber’s contributions will always be remembered.
Phillies fans hope that Schwarber will continue to be a part of the team in the future, and whether he stays or goes, his love for Philadelphia will always be appreciated.
