Morales seemed to be on a contract drive this year. If he gets a 3-year deal, look out! I would love to have him back, but even QO is dicey. That would be the farthest I would go with the big guy.

Yes, his bat would look great, but I would think it would be difficult to get a 34-year old to agree to come to a park where his power numbers would be suppressed. I also don’t think it’s smart business to give a 34-year old with no position a three-year deal, but I do understand the thinking that you do it for 2017 and don’t worry about 2018 and 2019.

If they are really all in, go get Encarnacion for something like what you’re paying Gordon. A 3-4 win player at DH would look real nice on this team.
