The more I think about it I wonder how Morse fits what Tampa needs? They don't want expensive contracts. Morse has one year left on his deal and if he has a big year will get a significant raise. With their budget, Tampa probably wouldn't sign Morse long term so they would be left with Morse for one year and Espinosa.
I just don't see them trading Shields for that return. If Morse were signed to a reasonable contract then I could see it. Maybe Espi, Moore & something else?
Good post.
Morse only fits if they are "in it to win it", which trading a top of the line pitcher negates
