    Looks Like Orioles Will Sign Either Nelson Cruz or Kendrys Morales

    It is just a matter of which one.

    FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal writes that the Orioles "seem to prefer" Cruz over Morales.

    Morales has good power but Nelson Cruz is the better all around player, they should grab Cruz IMO.

    I still think if the Mets have any balls and intelligence they sign Kendrys Morales to 3 yr/$45 million and let the guy play first base and bat 5th. The guy can hit fot power....decent average and knock in RBI's. Trade Duda, Ike Davis and a young AAA prospect for a short stop.

    Heard the Pirates might be interested in Morales

    but having to give up a 1st round draft pick as compensation would scare me away as a GM

    It now seems O's have "intensified their interest" in Morales, with Cruz now probably a fall-back option.

    Cruz is destined to wind up back in TX on a one year deal. It's awesome too because he might get a third of what they offered him when the offseason started. Turned down a $14.1 million deal qualifying deal.

    Love how the Mets, who desperately need offense can spend $7.5 million on Chris Young who is garbage and not an extra $500,000 and sign Nelson Cruz Jr.

    take a look at the Mets roster and tell me those 2 players won't help the ball club.

    Other than Wheeler , Niese, Granderson, and Wright the Mets have almost an entire roster of minor league caliber players

    You are right Mike Tizzy, no need to take this stuff seriously. I'll still make a call though. My call is that the O's will NOT win the WS this year. Therefore, I'm offering:

    50:1 odds on the Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series in 2014. I'll take a single bet for 100 points that pays out 5,000 Betpoints if it hits. Any Pro that is interested should let me know. The transaction would probably need to take place in the Betpoints Forum. First come, first served.

    Offer expires on March 22, 2014 if no one responds.
