    I know many, especially Rick, were/are hot on Morales... here is an interesting read comparing the two biggest bats left on the market.

    It also goes on to discuss how neither are good defensively...

    Food for thought and possible reasoning behind non-moves (so far)

    I feel neither of these guys fit for the Yankees. What surprises me is that the offensive starved Mariners don't want Morales back. A switch-hitter who could provide some protection for Cano? Why spend 240 million to leave Cano on a ledge. Now, as a Yankee fan, lmao!!!

    ...said this about 3 times already, but "the Yanx are not going to commit to a long term contract for a player they may or may not need."

    Understood, however the Mariners reluctance to sign him after their big splash with Cano makes no sense.

    ...I think maybe they're waiting for the price to drop on either him or Cruz.
