Brewers get reliever John Curtiss for Payton Henry, a catcher who goes to Marlins

[Fear The Chorizo]

Pretty disappointing deadline for us

 

I know it's almost the deadline, but I would still bet on the side of us not being done yet.

 

There will be breaking trades announced all the way up to when tonight's east coast games get started - particularly for team like the Brewers who play pretty close to the vest. Paperwork just takes time to get processed and I don't think many of the baseball trade gurus on twitter get trade info quickly from the Brewers unless it involves a team they have better contacts with.

I liked Payton

[titletownking]

Brewers get Curtiss

[brewers888]

Brewers made their deals over a few month period so they weren't desperate like some other teams. Stearns gets an A+ for the trades he's made so far. If the cost is low I would like another reliever but happy with the results regardless unless we do something crazy in the last few minutes.

That’s pushing it a little far. Usually 30 minutes after deadline is the furthest I’ve seen.

I love the NL West stocking up on talent. We’re only going to have to take down one of those juggernauts this year.

I figured one of the AAA catchers were really likely to be trade bait. Not shocked one finally went.

Curtiss has control I believe

Yah, anyone dreaming of a trade after 3:30pm is going to be disappointed.

[IIAY]

Curtiss has control I believe

Isn't even arby eligible until 2023.

[titletownking]

Curtiss has control I believe

 

4 more years I believe. Pretty good trade.

[MrTPlush]

For just Henry, I really like that trade. Looks like a solid reliever controllable for a long time.

[HarveysWBs]

Curtiss has control I believe

Through 2025, as per baseball reference.

[jonescm128]

Curtiss has minor league options and four years of club control beyond 2021

[RollieTime]

Curtiss is a big addition. 4 years of control after this year. He’s a very good back end reliever. We still have Narvaez for a number of years and Feliciano knocking on the door. This is a good trade for both sides.

PENCILS DOWN

[Eye Black]

I can’t believe the Rockies didn’t trade any of their expiring contracts today. A franchise that continues to operate on their own island.

[titletownking]

If you look at all the moves as a collective whole, good trades. At the deadline, way underwhelming so far.

[jonescm128]

Guess the Rockies are going the QO route with Story

Absolute lunacy. There is obviously SOME value to comp picks, but you simply cannot tell me that with the crazy returns sellers were getting today that the Rockies wouldn't have received a haul for Story, etc.

I mean we got our bat (Escobar) and a couple relievers (Curtiss, Norris) . I know some people will be disappointed and I guess I'm a little underwhelmed but it's basically the exact moves I figured would happen.

[nate82]

The Rockies were looking for an old time trade that just doesn't happen anymore or very rarely. Basically the Rockies wanted what the Cubs gave up for Chapman in return for Story and nothing less.

I was just about to say the same thing.
