MLB News And Notes With Jon Morosi
Jon Morosi, who covers Major League Baseball for Fox Sports, joined the Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn and Jason La Canfora to cover the big deals that have been handed out over the past week in free agency, and to give his thoughts on where key Orioles free agents could land. Like Scott, Jon has spent some time on the Upper Peninsula so the guys chatted a little bit about Michigan. But Scott did get into the big news of the week, Giancarlo Stanton signing his extension with the Miami Marlins. "I think anytime you set a new record for sports on the planet it is attention grabbing… Of all the least likely teams to hand out record setting contracts, the Miami Marlins are on that list."
Jason brought up the rumors surrounding the Orioles rotation and bullpen. He asked Jon which free agent is most likely to return in black and orange. "I checked on this earlier in the week, they are fairly optimistice that they would be able to keep at least one of the two (Markakis and Cruz). So I would be surprised if they were unable to keep one of the two. But the Mariners are in heavy on Cruz."
