Today the Mariners announced - far from the largest announcement in Seattle sports today, but news is news - that they claimed reliever RHP Mauricio Llovera off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. The Mariners roster is now at 39 players.
Llovera signed with the Phillies out of Venezuela in 2015, and made his MLB debut late in the 2020 season. If Llovera’s name rings a bell, it might be because in 2021 he had the dubious distinction of becoming only the second player in MLB history to give up three straight home runs without recording an out (this happened against the Mets, who, in true Mets fashion, went on to lose the game 5-3).
