I know many, especially Rick, were/are hot on Morales... here is an interesting read comparing the two biggest bats left on the market. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/01/free-agent-faceoff-nelson-cruz-vs-kendrys-morales.html 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.
