Matt Morris
Contract status: Making $9.5 million this season. Has $9 million club option for 2009. If team declines to exercise it, he gets $1 million buyout and can declare free agency.
Shopping activity: The Pirates aggressively shopped Morris' unwieldy contract -- which will consume roughly 20 percent of their payroll -- but had no bites.
Outlook: If he performs as well in the first half as he did for the San Francisco Giants to open 2007, it would not take much to get the Pirates engaged in trade talks.

The Giants jettisoned a pair of veterans on Saturday, optioning catcher Eliezer Alfonzo to Triple-A Fresno and designating left-hander Steve Kline for assignment in a move that will officially be announced Sunday.
