"The Royals are acquiring left-hander Matt Strahm in a trade with the Phillies, according to a report from Robert Murray of FanSided. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that right-hander Jonathan Bowlan is headed to Philadelphia in return for Strahm's services. It's a reunion for Strahm and the Royals, as Kansas City drafted the lefty in the 21st round of the 2012 draft."
"Strahm made his big league debut for the Royals in 2016 and spent parts of two seasons with the club before being shipped to the Padres in a six-trade alongside Travis Wood and Esteury Ruiz in order to acquire Trevor Cahill, Brandon Mauer, and Ryan Buchter. Strahm had a career 3.81 ERA and 4.12 FIP in 56 2/3 innings at the time of the trade."
Matt Strahm was acquired by the Kansas City Royals in a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, with right-hander Jonathan Bowlan heading to Philadelphia in return. Kansas City originally drafted Strahm in the 21st round of the 2012 draft, and Strahm debuted with the Royals in 2016, pitching parts of two seasons before being traded to the San Diego Padres as part of a multi-player deal. At the time of that earlier trade Strahm had a 3.81 ERA and 4.12 FIP in 56 2/3 innings. Strahm has since accumulated more than 500 major-league innings and made an All-Star appearance.
