The Philadelphia Phillies have finalized a contract extension with left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm, securing his services through the 2025 season with an option for 2026. Strahm, who expressed a strong desire to stay in Philadelphia citing his love for the city and not wanting to worry about protecting his arm with free agency looming, agreed to the extension. He stated that the thought of a bigger payday never crossed his mind, emphasizing contentment with his situation. The extension is financially set at $7.5 million for the 2025 season, with a vesting option for 2026 at the same amount, contingent upon Strahm pitching at least 60 innings in 2025. This move is part of the Phillies' broader financial commitments, which now total $214.9 million to 10 players for the 2025 season. Additionally, the Phillies traded outfielder Jake Cave to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for cash considerations.
