The addition of Strahm helps a bullpen that has lost Brad Hand, David Roberston, Zach Eflin, who pitched in the bullpen during the Phillies playoff run. He will likely fill the Brfand Hand role and be an option late in games from the left side.
Another solid addition for the Phillies who have already added Trea Turner and Walker.
