Justin Morneau - 1B - Minnesota Twins
Dec. 10, 2012 - 10:30 AM ET
Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that the Orioles are among the teams who have contacted the Twins about the availability of Justin Morneau.
The Orioles recently non-tendered Mark Reynolds, so Morneau is a possible fit at first base. The 31-year-old batted .267/.333/.440 with 19 home runs, 77 RBI and a .773 OPS in 134 games this season past season and is set to earn $14 million in 2013 before hitting free agency. The Twins would want young pitching in return if they were to deal him.
