The Milwaukee Brewers took a mixed approach in their reliever acquisitions at the trade deadline. They went for upside with Daniel Norris. They opted for more immediate impact when they acquired RHP John Curtiss, a proven reliever from Miami.
Despite a rough debut with the Brewers, Curtiss is a presently stellar reliever with years of club control. The Crew would have to return another proven talent or a high-level prospect in exchange. They did just that, sending promising catching prospect Payton Henry to Miami.
John Curtiss has Minor League options remaining and has four years of club control beyond 2021.
