There was no action from the Atlanta Braves following Christmas Day, so there was plenty of time to analyze the boost that right-hander Joel Payamps could bring to the bullpen. Despite his off-putting 2025, 31-year-old Payamps could turn out to be one of the Braves' most underrated signings this offseason. Let's dig into his contract and what it means for the 'pen.
The Brewers announced Wednesday that they've placed right-hander Shelby Miller on the 60-day injured list due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The 34-year-old exited a game earlier this week after telling manager Pat Murphy that he'd felt a "pop" in his elbow, and it seems he's encountered a worst-case scenario. Milwaukee has selected the contract of righty Joel Payamps to take Miller's spot on the 40-man roster and in the big league bullpen.
