SF Giants trade rumor: Could Michael Morse come back to the Giants?

It's so crazy, it just might work. But it probably won't.

Michael Morse is having a bummer of a year. He's struck out in nearly a third of his plate appearances. He isn't hitting for power or average. An unnamed scout described his defense as "reminiscent of Michael Morse." According to Baseball-Reference's WAR, he's been more harmful to the Marlins than Casey McGehee was to the Giants.

Dramatic pause.

However! A rumor is a rumor, and we can explain this one, at least a little.

ICYMI from last night #Marlins Latos drawing interest from #Yankees as well as #Cubs #BlueJays Morse just might be dealt to #SFGiants

Because this is, like, one of two rumors this month, we get to parse the phrasing.
