Milwaukee Brewers Free Agent Targets: Kyle Schwarber
Jim Owens-USA TODAY Sports Is there a more dangerous threat at the plate in this year’s free agent class? The Milwaukee Brewers were dismal on the offensive side of the ball in 2020. There is a strong likelihood that some or most of the players that struggled at the plate for the Brew Crew will rebound in 2021. However, one thing that was glaringly missing from the 2020 lineup was a hitter that opposing teams would truly fear who is not named Christian Yelich. There was not much to fear from Schwarber in 2020. As with many MLB hitters, Schwarber struggled mightily,...

Sunday Rockpile: Should the Rockies sign Kyle Schwarber?
Photo by Joe Robbins/ Colorado Rockies news and analysis for December 27, 2020 Linked in yesterday’s Rockpile was an article from the Cubs’ sister-site from our friends at Roxpile postulating that the Rockies ought to pursue Kyle Schwarber.

Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Kyle Schwarber
Photo by Quinn Harris/ With too many one-tool power hitters, the Yankees are unlikely to onboard another one despite Schwarber’s Bronx-friendly bat. Coming up through the minors, Kyle Schwarber was a one-tool prospect, and has proven to be as predicted, a one-tool player in the majors. However, that one tool has — on occasion — proven to be as electric as almost anyone else’s. When Schwarber makes contact, he hits the ball as hard as the game’s elite batters, and as frequently hard as anyone else. Over each of the past two seasons, Schwarber finished in the...
