Also just dfa'd by the Brewers is 1B Logan Morrison, 3 years removed from his monster 38 hr season with the Rays. Not saying get him but he was just so damn likable.

The Mariners announced Monday that they’ve claimed right-hander Brady Lail off waivers from the White Sox and designated infielder Patrick Wisdom for assignment.

Lail, 27, made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2019 but pitched just 2 2/3 innings in his lone appearance with the club. It was a similar tale with the ChiSox, who got Lail into one game for 1 1/3 innings of work prior to designating the right-hander for assignment. He’s struggled in the upper minors as a starter, but he moved to the bullpen full-time a couple years back and has since enjoyed much better results. In 49 1/3 frames between Double-A and Triple-A in 2019, Lail pitched to a 3.83 ERA with 12.2 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9.

Wisdom, 28, hasn’t appeared in the Majors with Seattle since signing with them over the winter. He’s a career .224/.306/.408 hitter in 86 MLB plate appearances and a .252/.328/.478 hitter in parts of four Triple-A seasons. Wisdom struggled quite a bit in his first run through Triple-A, but he’s slugged 77 homers in three seasons since that time while oscillating between the Majors and Minors. He has experience at all four corner positions.

Hope Lail replaces Bryan Shaw pronto.

Lail had a nice stint in AA last season. 31IPs 1.74 ERA and 47Ks 0.96 WHIP

I always thought LoMo’s eyes were set almost on the sides of his face, like that fishlike starship admiral in Star Wars.

I see Lail had a great outing. I thought he might be decent. Especially relative to our nightmare pen.

And he's from my home State, so I'll be cheering for him

Cool. Believe it or not, Utah is the only state west of the Mississippi that I have never been to. I think I have been to almost 40 states.

Oh I guess I haven't been to Kansas either.

Alabama
Mississippi
Kentucky
Tennessee
South Carolina
Rhode Island
Connecticut
West Virginia
Virginia
Utah
Kansas
Arkansas
Iowa

You need to do a summer trip there. Zion, Bryce Canyon Grand Canyon North rim (just a few hours South), Lake Powell, Arches, Canyonlands, Moab. If you like outdoors, then that is the place to go. Of all the places on your list, Utah is the most glaring omission.
