Morales Drawing Increased Interest From Orioles
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2014 9:19 pm
The Baltimore Orioles have picked up their interest in Kendrys Morales in recent days.
The team's reluctance to part with their first-round pick is no longer a concern after they forfeited the 17th overall pick to sign Ubaldo Jimenez.
Also, Morales had been seeking a long-term deal, but sources indicate that the slugger and Scott Boras are now willing to settle for a short deal with an opt-out clause.
