A Marlins roster move I actually agree with! Those have been few and far between this season. With Jorge Alfaro sidelined by a left calf strain—and having reached the end of his rope regardless—catcher Payton Henry got the call-up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.
The Marlins acquired Henry from the Brewers on July 30 in exchange for John Curtiss. The trade was considered an overpay from Miami’s perspective by Baseball Trade Values, hinting that they believed in his major league readiness and would be giving him an opportunity sooner rather than later.
