I trust this FO to make the right move.
If their internal metrics, scouting and coaching suggests that Morales can be a viable contributor over other players, then they will keep him. If not, then they will dump him. People have been poisoned by two decades worth of Godfrey and drunk Beeston that they think they'll keep Morales simply because of the contract.
They really need to beg Rogers to allow them to dump this contract? Give a two page power point presentation over how much money they saved on Bautista by avoiding giving into his demands or how much excess value the Smoak contract has provided.
