[PeaveyFury]

More to come.

Payton Henry heading the other way, per Heyman.

John Curtiss under team control through 2025.

[PeaveyFury]

Curtiss is 28, right-handed, and has performed very well as a reliever for Miami this year and Tampa last season. This is his first 'real' season in the bigs, depending on how you quantify last year.

FWIW

82 career MLB innings. 83k/21bb. Under control for awhile. Has been pitching well.

 

Good get.

[Eye Black]

Most importantly… he has options remaining!

[adambr2]

Quite a good reliever. Fairly expensive price, but that's reflective of a lot of years of club control here.

[markedman5]

Ok…..let’s go fellas…..we have our team!

[Sixtofan]

And his middle name is “Pickens”

[umphrey]

I am now ok with this deadline so long as Norris isn't a huge failure

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Seems like a really solid, under-the-radar get. David Stearns doing a lot of David Stearns things today.

[mattyo]

Like this one a lot

[PeaveyFury]

Curtiss seems like one of those great 7th/8th inning guys that will help when Williams/Hader are down. Nice get.

[Sixtofan]

I like this one a lot. Helps now and next year (and beyond)

[wibadgers23]

Don't know anything about Curtiss but this seems like a really good trade.

The silent assassin strikes again. I love it!

[monty57]

Alright, now this guy looks like a nice improvement to the bullpen. About a 4:1 K:BB ratio, and a career 1.15 WHIP. Heck, he's even started some games, so he can go multiple-innings, although I'm sure those was more "opener" roles, and not a traditional starter.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

This tells me that they are comfortable with Houser keeping his rotation spot. Curtiss likely takes the pen spot that Houser would have occupied had a starter been acquired.

[StearnsFTW]

Very nice. Is it just Henry? MLBTR won't load for me.

[PeaveyFury]

Very nice. Is it just Henry? MLBTR won't load for me.

 

Yes, it appears to be 1:1.

[tigerbrew]

I like this trade, John Curtiss looks like a very good reliever and under team control for years.

[StearnsFTW]

Yes, it appears to be 1:1.

 

All those catchers are paying off!

 

Great deal imo.

[narwhalattack]

Very solid get to bolster the bullpen. I was curious as to what Henry could’ve done for us, but he was probably lower on the pecking order compared to Feliciano

[RollieTime]

Great trade. Controllable through 2025, doesn’t walk many guys, can go multiple innings, 7th-9th inning reliever depending on the day. This was a very good trade with our catching position at the big league level under control for the foreseeable future when you include Feliciano.
