The Philadelphia Phillies could be entertaining offers for left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm as the 2025–26 MLB Winter Meetings approach. According to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, the Seattle Mariners have reportedly sent feelers about acquiring Strahm, signaling that Philadelphia may have trade options on the table for the versatile southpaw.
Strahm has shown the ability to pitch both as a starter and out of the bullpen, making him an attractive option for teams seeking flexibility in their pitching staff. For the Phillies, who are managing a payroll-heavy roster and assessing needs for the upcoming season, moving a high-utility lefty could provide financial and roster flexibility while also bringing back potential pieces to address other gaps.
While nothing is imminent, the Mariners’ interest highlights the value of left-handed pitching in the current MLB landscape, where teams prize matchup advantages and bullpen depth. Philadelphia’s front office will likely weigh any offers carefully, balancing the benefit of trading Strahm against the importance of keeping a versatile arm in the bullpen.
As the Winter Meetings draw near, Phillies fans can expect trade chatter to intensify, with Strahm potentially becoming one of the team’s more talked-about offseason assets.
