The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for a comeback in the upcoming MLB season, with a focus on fine-tuning their roster. Notable moves include the retention of key players like Kyle Schwarber, who was a standout performer last season.
Schwarber secured a lucrative new contract during the offseason, which will see him earn significantly in the 2026 season. His earnings surpass those of star player Bryce Harper for the upcoming year but remain below the compensation for ace Zack Wheeler.
Here’s a look at the top five earners on the Phillies roster for next season:
- Zack Wheeler – $42,000,000
- Kyle Schwarber – $30,000,000 (includes a $15M base salary and $15M bonus)
- Bryce Harper – $27,571,429
- Trea Turner – $27,272,727
- Aaron Nola – $24,571,429
