		<description><![CDATA[Because Desmond has value in the field and on the bases. Suppose Morales&#039; true market value is something like $11M over 2 years, i.e. his contract is $12M in the red.Then flipping Morales for Desmond is (roughly) akin to signing the latter to a 4 year $50 contract. He doesn&#039;t have to be much better than fringe-average to make that worthwhile, especially if he can competently man the corner outfield and maybe fill in around the infield as needed.

Alex Gordon&#039;s contract looks pretty atrocious right now, I don&#039;t think a straight swap would do. Maybe if we get Kelvin Herrera back too? Or include some prospects on our end and grab Danny Duffy (4 years $60M)? Morales + Greene + Pentecost for Gordon + Duffy?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why in the world would some of these be on here? Desmond? Why would the Blue Jays want a worse hitter who is locked up for half a decade. And why would the Rockies want a DH only bat?

What a ridiculous read.]]></description>

I think teams would pay around $7.5M AAV for a guy who can get you 30 HR. Freeing up money for 2019 should be Toronto&#039;s primary objective. But it won&#039;t be...:(]]></description>
