Mariners Claim Mike Morin

By Jeff Todd | December 8, 2017 at 2:44pm CDT

The Mariners have claimed Mike Morin off waivers from the Royals, per a club announcement. He figures to represent yet another depth option for the Seattle staff, so long as he remains in the organization through to Spring Training.

Morin, a 26-year-old righty, went from the Angels to the Royals by way of the waiver wire late in the 2017 campaign. All told, he stumbled to a 7.20 ERA in twenty MLB innings, though there were a few signals of short-sample misfortune and his 16:5 K/BB ratio was in his usual range.

Other signals were mixed. Morin averaged a career-low 90.8 mph with his fastball, a few ticks below the levels he had sustained previously, but did maintain an appealing 12.9% swinging-strike rate that was right at his career average. In 39 1/3 Triple-A frames, he carried a 3.20 ERA but only recorded 5.7 K/9.

All told, it’s not altogether clear what Seattle can expect, but Morin is still plenty young and has had runs of success at the game’s highest level. In his debut season of 2014, especially, Morin carried a 2.90 ERA over 59 innings. He also has a clear history with Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto, who held that post with the Angels when Morin was drafted and developed.

      Dee Gordon has three years and $38 million remaining on his contract after posting 3.3 fWAR, valued at $26.6 million this year, and 12.4 fWAR, valued at $108.3 million, over the last four years (including a suspension-shortened season).

      If Dee Gordon has a bad contract the Mariners need a few more.

    I always thought Morin would be a stud with the angels after he broke out. His changeup is just so filthy but not much else.

      He has had some stretches where he was great but then would have a terrible game and he couldn’t get over it. He would then rely on his best pitch (the change up) way too much and would seem to only throw that pitch.

    We will see if he can get back on track, It’s not a terrible move by any means.
    The M’s have a decent starting lineup, now they need to address pitching and position depth
