now gets echo'ed with actual grapevine rumblings, per Jason at Prospect Insider.

I've been a little surprised to see 80%-90% of M's fans, at MC/SSI/PI, squeamish about a Morrow-Jackson deal.  No need, compadres.  It's an absolute no-brainer.

As y'know, SSI is the original Brandon Morrow Fan Club Founder, but ... we'd give Morrow and two Grade B prospects for Edwin Jackson, so fast you'd get seller's remorse.
Morrow is Morrow, but Jackson is Morrow as he hopes to be one year from now.  There's no better than a 50-50 shot of that.  I'll gladly give you prospects in return for your guarantee that Morrow pans out.

Even if Morrow were to hit the double-sixes and become a TOR starter, you'd have no regrets.  Because you'd have Edwin Jackson.   The extra year or two of arb salary isn't worth losing sleep over, especially that being the extreme downside scenario.
The Clement deal, that could come back to bite and bite hard.  But Morrow-for-Jackson can't blow up on you, 'cause you GOT Morrow coming back.
