Straily pitched in the major leagues with the Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles, going 44-40 with a 4.56 ERA. He won double-digit games in three different seasons and made 140 career starts. Most known for his time with the Athletics, he won 14 games and posted a 4.2 WAR (Baseball Reference) for the 2016 Reds. He spent the COVID 2020 season in Korea with Lotte and also played there in 2021, winning 25 games in total. He came back to the United States and made 15 minor league appearances in 2022, only to go back to Korea for the rest of 2022 and 2023, winning seven more games. He pitched in Triple-A for the Cubs in 2024, making 17 appearances, and then spent eight games in Mexico this season, going 1-2 with a 9.00 ERA.

It's unclear what Straily will do now, but it's certainly a career well-spent across 17 different seasons. He pitched in one career playoff game, throwing six innings of three-run ball for the A's in the 2013 ALDS against the Detroit Tigers.
