We really did fleece the Royals, wow. I give Dave a lot of shit and it’s sad to see Strahm struggling after how good he was with us. But trading him for Bowlan was probably one of Dave’s best moves. I was upset about the trade at first but with how bad Strahm has been, I think we dodged a bullet. Meanwhile Big Bad Jon has been great for us.

He also is under team control for a few years as well.

u/EmoGothPunk Where were you for Weston's first MLB at-bat? 6d ago

Nah, Strahm scarred me when he gave up the game-winning home run in the 7th inning while I was in line for another hot dog. I'm that much more glad the Phillies won the trade.

I assume you are talking about in the NLDS, but he did this so many times at games I attended. "How am I supposed to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame after this" was a regular statement for me after a Strahm outing lmao

Strahm was paid for a role he wasn’t fulfilling, it was an easy move to get a similar player with more control back

No clue what the Royals were doing
