2026 Fantasy Outlook
Strahm overcame a left shoulder impingement and a fingernail issue last spring and went on to fill his typical high-leverage role for Philadelphia. The southpaw racked up career-best marks with 22 holds and six saves, the latter coming during a brief stint as part of a closer committee. This, of course, was prior to the Phillies' acquisition of Jhoan Duran, upon which Strahm settled back into a setup role. The 34-year-old closed out 2025 with a respectable 1.07 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 62.1 regular-season innings. Since Strahm reached an innings-pitched threshold in his contract, his $7.5 million option for 2026 vested after he recently passed a physical. The veteran was subsequently traded to Kansas City, where he began his career. The left-hander should continue to fill a high-leverage relief role for the Royals in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
