Re: Report: Blue Jays to sign Kendrys Morales to 3-year, 33M deal
EE can play 1st base still. He should be an everyday 1B, but because Toronto wanted Smoak (Switch hitter) in the lineup, and to rest EE, EE just got thrown to DH too often.
Doesn’t end the discussion with EE, but it does make Toronto look like they aren’t waiting all summer on his decision. Look for Toronto to also move on from JB after he rejects his QO today and move to Reddick.
I would LOVE for Toronto to get Fowler. A top half lineup of Fowler-Travis-Donaldson-EE/Morales-Morales/EE-Tulo would be so much better than what they have this yr. However, I don’t think Toronto is even on Fowlers radar, but if I was Toronto I’d make us on his radar. Its more of a pipe dream at this point tho.
But, Morales wasn’t hitting in a protected lineup like Toronto has (if EE signs), his numbers could be huge next yr.
