Matt Strahm's MLB career
Matt Strahm now pitches for the Philadelphia Phillies. He previously played in MLB with the Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres, and Kansas City Royals. Strahm was the sole MLB player from North Dakota in 2019.
The Kansas City Royals selected Strahm in the twenty-first round of the 2012 MLB Draft. Strahm signed a deal with the Royals and got a signing bonus of $100,000, rather than moving to Nebraska. After the 2015 campaign, the Royals added him to their 40-man roster in order to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft.
In addition, on July 24, 2017, the Kansas City Royals sent Strahm, Travis Wood, and Esteury Ruiz to the San Diego Padres.
