Daily News | Phillies sign veteran reliever Matt Strahm to shore up their bullpen
SAN DIEGO — Just about an hour after the Phillies and right-handed starter Taijuan Walker agreed to a, the team addressed another pressing need — their bullpen — reaching a deal with left-handed reliever Matt Strahm on a two-year, $15 million contract, a source confirmed Tuesday night.
Strahm, 31, could be used in a swingman-type role. He’s pitched 108 innings as a starter, and 196⅔ innings as a reliever. But Strahm fared much better out of the bullpen in his career. He has a 3.11 ERA over 182 games, with a 2.82 strikeout-to-walk ratio, compared to a 5.08 career ERA over 25 starts, with a 5.05 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He’s started just one game — in 2021 — the last three seasons.
The Phillies’ front office had plenty of work ahead of them before arriving in San Diego for baseball’s winter meetings but certainly made the most of their time on the West Coast. With, Kyle Gibson, Brad Hand, Noah Syndergaard, Corey Knebel, and David Robertson departing in free agency, they had to replace 411 innings pitched in 2022. But with the additions of Walker and Strahm, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski significantly chipped away at his to-do list.
