Signs with Nationals Schwarber signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Nationals on Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Schwarber's deal is dependent on him passing a physical, but he should play left field for the Nationals in 2021 with Juan Soto moving to right. The 27-year-old was non-tendered by the Cubs after a disappointing season in which he slashed .188/.308/.393 with 11 home runs and 24 RBI. He'll attempt to right the ship in Washington after averaging 31.3 home runs per season over the three years leading up to 2020.

Non-tendered by Cubs Schwarber was non-tendered by the Cubs on Wednesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact All signs point to the Cubs embracing a rebuild, so they opted not to pay a left fielder/designated hitter for past performance in arbitration. He has always mashed righties, but probably fits best as a DH who can sit against southpaws. Schwarber hit .188 in 224 plate appearances last season, but he hit .250/.339/.531 with 38 home runs in 2019 and is only turning 28 in March.

Hits 11th home run Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact Schwarber hit his 11th home run of the season in the second inning against White Sox starter Dylan Cease. The slugger is still batting under .200 for the year, so it's really been an all-or-nothing type campaign. He should continue to get regular playing time in left field heading into the playoffs next week.

Solid effort Monday Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact A night after being removed early from a game for an uninspired effort retrieving a ball in left field, Schwarber looked locked in. He's still batting under .200, but the 27-year-old is capable of producing good numbers in spurts, so the Cubs will hope he heats up for the playoffs. Schwarber was removed from this game as well, but it was for a pinch-runner in the eighth inning, so it appears as if Sunday's transgression is in the rearview mirror,

Starting Monday Schwarber is starting in left field and batting cleanup in Monday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Schwarber was removed from Sunday's contest in the top of the third inning, and it seemed like the move was made due to a play an inning earlier, where the 27-year-old was a bit slow to retrieve a ball hit to the left field corner. When asked about it after the game, Chicago manager David Ross said, "Kyle Schwarber is a true professional in every sense of the word, and I'll leave it at that," Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports, so it seems like the Cubs are trying to keep the situation in house and move on. For the season, Schwarber is slashing .190/.306/.393 with 10 home runs in 52 games.
