In a post to Twitter, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney said, “A good team-friendly deal could develop for the Mets with 1B Kendrys Morales in February or March.”
Morales declined a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Mariners, meaning he will cost his new team a top draft pick. As such, an MLB GMs recently predicted that Morales might have to wait to sign a deal until after the MLB draft in June (Gammons, Dec. 11).
The Orioles, Yankees, Rays, Brewers, Pirates and Rangers have all been connected in rumor to Morales, but there are no reports of any offer being made.
In October, Tim Dierkes predicted Morales would eventually ink a two-year, $28 million deal (MLBTR, Oct. 27).
Morales, 30, hit .277 with a .336 OBP and .785 OPS, 23 HR and 80 RBI in 156 games with the Mariners this past season.
Morales played 31 games at first base this season, but mostly served as Seattle’s designated hitter.

Wouldn't be against it, but he may be expensive. But certainly would give us a pretty solid 3-4-5.
