Yes, it's true. The Mariners opted to part ways with John Jaso today in order to give Michael Morse a reunion in the Emerald City. Jaso was one of the most productive pieces in the Mariners lineup last season and an exciting part of the organization. Morse, a former member of the Mariners has spent the last four seasons with the Nationals after being traded for Ryan Langerhans.
In essence, we gave Michael Morse away for almost nothing and to get him back we had to give up John Jaso. The downside of this is that Morse is scheduled to be a free agent after this season. That, and the Mariners now have a handful of outfielders more suited for playing first base.
