Not much to say about this one, just another player who got away. Schwarber has been gone for over a year now. He goes down as one of the better trade deadline moves the Red Sox ever made. But boy, it did not start out that way. The move was widely questioned because he was injured at the time. Boston needed a first-baseman and Schwarber really did not have experience there. Not to mention the fact that he has often been rather abysmal in the field. But, it worked out.
In 41 games, Schwarber hit .291/.435/.522 with seven home runs, ten doubles and 18 RBIs. His hitting helped lead Boston into the postseason. He hit three more home runs and drove in six more runs in the postseason. Schwarber seemed to embrace the atmosphere in Boston and would have made a great longtime Red Sox player. But, the team did not seem to do much to keep him around and he moved on to the Phillies. Schwarber led the N.L. in home runs in 2022 with 46. It would have been nice to have him around.
