On a one-year deal in the $5-to-7 million range, expect the A’s to show interest and perhaps make a play for Morneau.
Justin Morneau has quite a decorated resume from his 13-year major league career.
However, in this winter’s free agent market, the former MVP first baseman gets lost in the shuffle among younger and healthier hitters expected to land flashy multi-year contracts.
Morneau, 34, shapes up as a relative bargain-signing for some team – an experienced left-handed hitter with pop who can probably be had on a one-year deal because of repeated concussion issues.
