Strahm

[TURBO]

Royals released LHP Matt Strahm.

The 34-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment earlier in the week and passed through waivers unclaimed. A reliable setup option in years past, Strahm struggled to a 7.32 ERA over 41 appearances with the Royals this season. Given the lack of quality left-handed bullpen options around the league, it shouldn’t be hard for Strahm to find another opportunity where a team thinks they can fix what’s causing his struggles this season.

I'd be happy if they give him a minor league contract. However, he's lost a couple miles on his heater since when he was last successful so worried he may be washed up.
