Report: Strahm 'Likely' to Be Traded by Phillies Amid Bullpen Adjustments

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports Phillies LHP Matt Strahm is 'likely' to be traded. Strahm, entering the final year of his $7.5M contract, posted a 2.74 ERA in 66 appearances in 2025. His value as a durable lefty who effectively handles right-handed hitters (.196 BA, .585 OPS vs. RHH in 2025) makes him a trade chip, especially after the addition of Brad Keller. The Phillies could leverage a Strahm trade to address their catcher need, with J.T. Realmuto talks stalled and options like Carson Kelly or Willson Contreras being considered.
