I like Morales. Put up good numbers In a pitcher friendly ball park and he can use all fields and switch hit. I think it's solid value for the Jays and a good start to the offseason.

Today they said his short list is down to 5 teams but only 3 will be able to make serious offers, including the Blue Jays. Considering his two biggest needs were a comfortable location (Toronto reportedly number one in this regard for him) and a team that is serious about contending, I could see it.
It gives me hope that Toronto gives a last minute "this is the best we can do with what we're building here" offer that's a couple million a year less than the other two teams but Edwin takes it anyway for the familiarity.
