Free Agent As Of 8/14/ 2020 - Logan Morrison

1B Logan Morrison: Baltimore Orioles

A national writer suggested we sign Logan Morrison.

6 OF 8

Unlike everyone else on this list, Logan Morrison didn't become a free agent until very recently.

He began this season with the Milwaukee Brewers, albeit in a situation where he'd have to perform in order to supplant Justin Smoak as their everyday first baseman. He instead collected three hits in his first 25 at-bats, leading to his designation for assignment. After that, he elected free agency on Aug. 14.

Morrison, 32, doesn't have much to show for his last three seasons in the majors. Yet it also wasn't that long ago that he played in 149 games and hit a career-high 38 home runs for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2017.

If any team should gamble on Morrison recapturing that magic, it should be the Baltimore Orioles.

Though the rest of their offense has been doing well, they've gotten only a .548 OPS out of first base. Since that's yet another cue that Chris Davis isn't worth a roster spot, they should seriously consider cutting him loose and giving Morrison a shot.

He plays 1B, LF and DH.

Terrible idea.   

You were very considerate not to embarrass the “national writer” by identifying him/her by name or providing a link that would allow us to figure it out.    The anonymity is well deserved.

Now it makes sense 

[CarrRun49]

The guy is basically Chris Davis

[Dipper9]

Isn't this kind of like saying "it wasn't THAT long ago that Chris Davis was hitting bombs and leading the league in homers." ????

I agree with others, just bring up Mountcastle already.  Although it looks like our little hot streak is over and we should fall nicely back down the standings again.

We need a bat, not a limp noodle.

You're as bad as the national writers, all counting us out. What did we do after we got swept by the Marlins?

Plain as day.  Don't care if he's RH.
