Former Cubs first-round pick and postseason hero Kyle Schwarber has made two All-Star teams, won a home run crown and won four playoff rounds since the Cubs non-tendered him.
Maybe more than any of the other core players they jettisoned during this latest two-year teardown and to-be-determined rebuild.
“We all know that he can hit with power; we all know he has a good eye at the plate; we know he’s a gamer,” Dombrowski said. “But for us one of the things that really did come into play very strongly was not only all those things but his presence in the clubhouse. Even before helping stake the Phillies to a 1-0 NLCS lead, he had helped two teams reach the playoffs and win four of five postseason rounds.
“There’s always a side of me that I knew I was better than how I was performing in Chicago,” he said. “I had a change of scenery, and it happened to be one of the better things for me personally in my career. I was able to go out and see a different side, outside of Chicago.”“There’s not a bone in my body that feels angry at them,” he said. “But it was definitely a better thing for me personally to get the fresh start and get to play every day and go from there.
