PHILADELPHIA — All-Star reliever Matt Strahm<\/a> passed a physical, causing the $7.5 million option for 2026 to vest in his contract with the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Strahm has a 3.36 ERA in 10 seasons with Kansas City<\/a>, San Diego<\/a>(2018-21), Boston<\/a>(2022) and the Phillies (2023-25).<\/p>\n
