MORIN TO THE PHILLIES

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired pitcher Mike Morin from the Minnesota Twins for cash.

What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
In Morin, the Phillies land a 28-year-old right-hander who can pitch effectively in the middle innings. He is not overpowering and does not strike a lot of batters out, but he can be a solid bullpen option at the highest level.

What does it give the Minnesota Twins
For the Twins, Morin held a 3.18 ERA in 23 appearances this season. However, that was still not enough to keep a spot in Minnesota's bullpen. So, he was designated for assignment and then traded for cash considerations.

Fantasy impact
There is nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective, as Morin will pitch in middle relief in Philadelphia.
