The Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their bullpen at the trade deadline by sending Payton Henry to Miami for John Curtiss. While Henry was a relatively significant piece to give up for the former Marlins’ reliever, Curtis should be worth it.
John Curtiss started his career with the Minnesota Twins organization and bounced around a bit before landing in Tampa in 2020. While there, he covered 25 innings and pitched to a 1.80 ERA. His success in Tampa was predicated on outstanding control. He posted a 25.3% strike out percentage and a 3% walk percentage in 2020 for the Rays.
