Kyle Schwarber hit a career-high 38 home runs in 2019, finishing his fifth season in the big leagues with a .250/.339/.531 line, 29 doubles, 70 walks, and 156 Ks in 155 games and 610 plate appearances, over which he was worth 2.6 fWAR. He followed that up, however, with a less-than stellar showing in 2020’s 60-game COVID campaign (.188/.308/.393, six doubles, 11 HRs, 30 walks, 66 Ks in 59 G, 224 PAs, over which he was worth 0.4 fWAR), and Chicago’s Cubs, who’d drafted Schwarber in the first round, fourth overall, back in 2014, non-tendered the 27-year-old slugger who’d debuted in ‘15, and then returned from injury to help the Cubs end the 108-year World Series drought in the Windy City in 2016.
