Not sure how I feel about this, but if it lands a stud that improves the starting lineup, I will be able to live with it.

I don’t like that, but I’ll reserve my judgement until we see who we’re getting. Strahm is solid.
I just don’t understand it. You know they will be chasing a lefty out of the bullpen mid season if they do trade him
Going with Alvarado over Strahm is a move of all time.
I wonder what you can get for a Bohm Strahm package. If anything maybe like a decent prospect and then it frees up that money to maybe sign a solid 3B. My worry is that this would be done just to free up money spent on Garcia and Keller. If it’s to further improve go for it, but if it’s just to save a dime and a nickel spent on marginal improvements then no.
This was hinted at weeks ago. I’ll reserve judgement on it until we see what the return would be. If all you get it salary relief it’s not great, but if you can get a decent player somewhere they aren’t as deep, then it’s interesting.
Hopefully. He is the least clutch pitcher of all time
I don’t buy it TBH.
Bad move. Why get rid of one of the few decent relievers we have. Stupid.
It seems logical because his splits are he is better against righties.
Man if I don’t get to say Strahmboli every time he takes the mound I’m gonna be pissed
I would obviously prefer the strong bullpen, but if trading Strahm frees up money for an infield bat or something I get it.

His GB% (2025 was the lowest it’s ever been) and K% have tanked while his BB%, HardH%, LD%, and FB% (2025 was the highest it’s ever been) have all risen. I wouldn’t really be surprised to learn that we’re shopping him while the getting’s good.
He must’ve really pissed off Dombrowski with his comments..
Damn the other players are gonna have to find a new weed connect
Getting older and costs a fair amount.
He is a all star level reliever. Trading him to improve some other parts is a smart move.
Especially if they have the inside track on some sort of decline.
I think tanner banks having a really great year has opened the door to the move.
Duran, Keller, Alvardo, Banks, Kerking, is a great 5 to start a bullpen and a lot deeper than you think.
I’d be more inclined to trade Alvarado than Strahm if we’re simply talking about how I value them. Obviously other teams must value Strahm higher as well if he’s the one being inquired about.
No sir. I don’t like it.
Dude consistently chokes in the moments that matter the most.
No man come on D:
With his peripherals declining, pissing off Dombrowski with his Pitcher Fielding Practice comments, and his miserable performance in the playoffs the last 2 seasons, he’s gone.
Fine with me. I like Strahm, but I don’t trust him in a big spot. 92-93 straight fastball as your bread and butter, with no real out pitch, is asking for trouble. Zero margin for error with that kind of stuff. It’s a shame, because he’s got guts. If you could combine Strahm’s make-up with Kerkering’s stuff, you’d really have something.
Man, do people overvalue Strahm. He’s not landing us a student that improves the starting lineup. If he gets us a serviceable player, or somehow helps us get off the Castellanos contract, that would be a great return.

This is smart business because Strahm isn’t elite. Dombrowski will get someone to overpay.
Stott and strahm and a double A prospect for Marte?
I don’t understand the love affair with Strahm. He’s mid at best.
I like Strahm, but he’s worth a lot more to us in a trade I think.
I’d prefer to keep him because he’s a good middle inning lefty, but hopefully they’ve realized he’s that AT BEST. He tops out at 94 with no movement, as evident in the NLDS
