Having agreed to sign free agent first baseman Adam LaRoche on Tuesday, the Nationals will now try to deal first baseman/outfielder Michael Morse, according to CSNWashington.com. Morse was the Nationals’ fallback plan for first base, had they not been able to re-sign LaRoche. Now that the Nationals have no openings in their lineup for Morse, they will try to trade him for a starting pitcher or a left-handed reliever. FOXSports.com reports that the Nationals have already spoken to five or six teams about a possible Morse deal.
