The rumor mill has churned out the latest Matt Morris gossip.
Via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
"Jocketty met Tuesday morning with Barry Axelrod, the agent for free-agent pitcher Matt Morris, but said later that the spiraling market for starting pitching has taken Morris out of the club's price range.Morris is believed to be leaning toward accepting a two-year offer from the San Francisco Giants; he is certain to command more than the two-year, $14.25 million deal the Cleveland Indians gave Paul Byrd. The Giants' proposal is for more than $8 million a season, according to a source familiar with talks. "His market has developed beyond what we feel comfortable with, but we haven't closed it out," Jocketty said."
