The Marlins announced that they have claimed right-hander off waivers from the Twins. The latter club had designated him for a signment last week. To open a roster spot, the Marlins have designated right-hander for a signment. Henriquez, 25 in June, came up through the minors as a starter but has been kept mostly in a relief role for the past two seasons. To this point in his career, he has thrown 31 innings in the big leagues over 19 appearances, including one start. He has allowed just 2.90 earned runs per nine in that small sample. His 18.2% strikeout rate is subpar but his 6.1% walk rate and 53.1% ground ball rate are both strong numbers. He made 34 Triple-A appearances last year, just three of those being starts, logging 55 innings overall. In that time, he had a 3.44 ERA, 24.9% strikeout rate, 7.2% walk rate and 53.8% ground ball rate. That was a pretty decent season on the farm but he exhausted his final option year, meaning hes now out of options going into 2025. That got him squeezed off the Minnesota roster when the Twins needed to make space Roger Clemens Jersey for their signings of and . For the Marlins, they are clearly not targeting a competitive year in 2025. Their offseason has mostly focused on subtractions, as they have traded controllable players like to the Phillies and to the Rangers. Their bullpen is fairly wide open. They traded , , , and at last years deadline. Now is the only reliever on the club with more than three years of service time and is the only other guy over the two-year line. In short, Henriquez has much better odds of sticking on the roster in Miami than he did with a competitive club like the Twins. If he manages to hold onto a spot, hell be affordable and controllable for quite a while. He has le s than a year of service time, meaning hes still at least two years away from arbitration and six years from free agency. Though of course, that all depends on him performing well enough to avoid another DFA from his new club. Curry, 26, was claimed off waivers from the Guardians in August. He has 147 innings of big league experience with a 4.35 ERA, 15.7% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate. He to sed 60 2/3 minor league innings last year with a 6.97 ERA, 18.5% strikeout rate and 9.6% walk rate. The Marlins will now have a week of DFA limbo to figure out whats next for Curry, whether thats a trade or some fate on waivers. He was once a notable prospect in the Cleveland system, which could intrigue some clubs. Over 2021 and 2022, he to sed 219 2/3 innings in the minors with a 3.28 ERA, 28.7% strikeout rate and 6.5% walk rate. He was then kept in the big league bullpen in 2023 before struggling last year. Curry still has an option remaining, so he could be kept as minor league depth if any club is willing to give him a 40-man spot. If he pa ses through waivers unclaimed, he would provide the Marlins with some non-roster depth. He has le s than three years of service time and doesnt have a previous career outright, meaning he wont have the right to reject an outright a signment. Nick Pivetta Jersey
