Milwaukee Brewers trade catching prospect Payton Henry to Miami for right-hander John Curtiss

This move might not be sexy, but it will likely be productive and for a long time. The Milwaukee Brewers traded catching prospect Payton Henry to the Miami Marlins for reliever John Curtiss.

Curtiss adds to the Brewers’ formidable bullpen in a big way. With Miami in 2021, Curtiss pitched to a 2.48 ERA with a 3.21 FIP and 1.08 WHIP. He is striking out 9 per 9 and opposing hitters are not getting walked and chasing at a high rate.
