By Matt Rappa
RHP Mike Morin (Brewers, Non-Roster Invitee)
- Los Angeles Angels (2014-17)
- Kansas City Royals (2017)
- Seattle Mariners (2018)
- Minnesota Twins (2019)
- Philadelphia Phillies (2019)
- Milwaukee Brewers (2020 – Present)
The 28-year-old RHP Mike Morin has had a back-and-forth career in terms of statistics. In three games with the Seattle Mariners in 2018, he posted a 6.75 ERA; then, in 23 games with the Minnesota Twins in 2019, he posted a 3.18 ERA, before logging a 5.79 ERA in 29 outings with the Phillies that same season.

Still, with the Phillies, Morin found success in that he struck out 15 batters and walked just eight, albeit allowing 18 runs and three home runs across 28 innings.
On January 22, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Morin to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, following him electing free agency from the Phillies in early November.

The Phillies had acquired Morin from the Twins in late July 2019 in exchange for cash considerations. Perhaps what the Brewers like in Morin is that he has postseason experience, having appeared in one game with the Los Angeles Angels in the 2014 ALDS opposite the Kansas City Royals.
