Michael Morse struggled throughout 2013 but the Giants gave him an opportunity and he thrived in 2014. After trading Morse in July as a result of a slow start, the Miami Marlins were not willing to wait and see if he will produce consistently in 2016.
Although the Marlins were not open to having Morse return next season, he was expected to be in the club’s 2016 plan. The Marlins signed Morse, a Nova High School product, to a two-year deal last winter with the hope he would provide first base stability, something the organization has lacked over the last few seasons.
