Morneau has also stated strongly that he wants to keep playing here. More so than playing in Toronto, which is nowhere hear his home in British Columbia. If his contract demands are over the top (4+ years, or more $ than he makes now), than they probably should trade him. But if they could extend him for 2 or 3 and he shows continued improvement and health this season, I'd be stoked to see him stick around.

I heard they weren't currently negotiating with LaRoche. So Morse to 1B, Harper to LF, Span/Revere to CF???

I don't think it was a dirty slide either, but clearly Mauer was not ready for it. It looked like he thought Weeks was just going to slow down and let himself be tagged out. Mauer needs to actually brace himself for contact, which he didn't try to do until it was too late.
