Morales, well protected, with the Angels, did ok, when he wasn't breaking his leg celebrating like a jackass for hitting a game winning home run.

And yes, to be clear, I'm going to call you a jackass when you get hurt celebrating.

A Morales trade makes a move for Swisher more than unlikely. They play the same positions, there isn't a spot for both especially when you factor in Smoak and Montero.

Moralas is a 1B, Swisher is a RF, Montero C, Smoak - Worthless, part of the problem not the solution IMO

Wow, so much wrong with tho post, it's laughable!
First off, no one from the M's organization is talking Hamilton, baseball writers wrote about the hard push from the Ms to sign Hamilton, he simply didn't want to be here. And secondly, no one from the M's organization is saying anything about Jason Bay. Just insecure non-fans like yourself who don't know much about baseball are screaming about a ST invite to Bay. Thirdly, Morales is a legit middle of the order bat that we got for an overrated back end of the rotation SP. Why wouldn't fans be excited about that?!

Hello PR rep from the Mariners. How do you do?
Seriously, though, I don't know how someone can so vehemently support the Mariners organization at this point in time.

There is no sugarcoating the place the Ms are in. Its the same the Twins, Jays,, Rays, and many in baseball find themself at the moment: a decent core squad of young players left to fight against 5 to 7 high spending teams.
But you ask to be entertained? So.... drop millions on aging above average players? Remember the Angles and Rangers have only been major players over the last 6 years or so. Before that it was the As and Ms. Baseball is cyclical and its not hard to follow.
There are plenty of options out there to make a 75 win team better. Are those options good enough to get to 85 wins? Maybe? Is that good enough to win the west? Doubtful. But the right moves may put this team in a competitve position going forward. And that has to be the plan.
As for the ridiculous comments regarding USS Mariner... come on. The writer has been acknowledged as one of the most astute baseball writers in the nation. He's a by product of sabremeteics, however, and disagrees with the simple minded appraoch of power over math. Don't have to agree. I happen to.
