BREW CREW BRING IN CATCHER CARATINI
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher Victor Caratini and cash from the San Diego Padres for catcher Brett Sullivan and outfielder Korry Howell.
What does it give the Milwaukee Brewers
With Pedro Severino suspended for roughly half of 2022, the Brewers needed more help behind the plate. Look for Caratini to share catching duties with Omar Narvaez this season.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
The Padres are knee-deep in catchers, so they could afford to move Caratini at this time. Sullivan will provide some added catching depth in the minors, while Howell projects as a utility man in the bigs.
Fantasy impact
Caratini's playing time should increase in Milwaukee. However, he should only be a draft or pickup consideration in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Neither Sullivan nor Howell has any fantasy value at this time.
