Unless he was cheap in terms of prospects, I'd pass on Morse.

There were rumblings at the beginning of the offseason but nothing recently.

Morse would definitely be a good fit. Like Upton though, it depends on the cost. I don't know how much I would really give up prospects wise for a one year rental. The team actually needs some players beyond 2013, which is where Upton fits nicely.

I agree.

Unless Loiras ego is running on high right now and he dumps him just to silence his Twitter rants over the JJ/Reyes firesale. This might be our one hope.

**benzni** · 01-03-2013, 08:45 PM

how the hell do we get him

anyway Cashman...GET IT DONE

**sauronthepower** · 01-03-2013, 08:46 PM

Morse might cost more than Stanton.

Washington is in win now mode. Loira is in f$&k off now mode.

Washington would have to be stupid to part with him for anything less than a Kings Ransom and the Democratic taxes on top of it.

**YEDN90** · 01-03-2013, 08:53 PM

The fact that he's what, 31..? might hurt his chances.

The way I see it is like this

Stanton - Hardest for Yankees to acquire, Best player, best potential, available at huge cost. Marlins can still choose to build around him.

Morse - Great power, 31 yrs old, perfect fit, but on a Nationals team in Win now mode.

Upton - Easiest to Acquire, great potential/could become better ball player, been made known to be very available

Each person will have their own opinion on who to acquire.
I'm coming to the thought process where I think a move is needed regardless.

RF needs to be upgraded.

We could have had Jason Bay for free. He has potential.

**YEDN90** · 01-03-2013, 09:35 PM

No he doesn't..

I would like to reiterate that I would trade any five humans In Our system for Stanton.

And which 5 do you think the Marlins will actually accept for Stanton?

**Harry Dunn** · 01-03-2013, 09:48 PM

the nats might be in win mode, but if they resign laroche they'd have no place to put morse.
