Even if we have to pay more than the going rate too keep Morales at DH, it would be money well spent so long as the rate doesn't get downright ridiculous. As others have pointed out, unless we can get productive, imminent help at corner OF in return, what are we going to get either in trade of from the minors that's any better over the next two years than a healthy Morales? And if you have to give him three years to keep him, you do it and worry any problems in year three later. As Gordon points out, we are stuffed to the gills, overstuffed in prospects. Why let one of our few legit bats get away if for some unexplainable reason he might be willing to stay? Get a healthy everyday firstbaseman, or make Ibanez/Morse a first base job-share, and Kendrys can be a more healthy DH.
