Morgan signed a deal with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization, MyKBO.net reports. |
Morgan saw brief time with the Indians in 2014, where he actually posted decent numbers in a small sample size, slashing .341/.429/.439 over 52 Major League plate appearances. He'll now head overseas, and at 34 years old, a return to MLB seems unlikely. |

Wed May 14 2014 | 21:33 | Morgan leaves with mild right knee sprain |
Nyjer Morgan left Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays with a mild right knee sprain. |
The kicker is that Morgan was only in the game because of an injury to Michael Brantley. The term "mild" suggests it's not a serious issue and Morgan should be back soon. Still, with two outfielder's down the Indians may need to make a roster move before Thursday's game. |

Indians purchased the contract of OF Nyjer Morgan from Triple-A Columbus. |
Morgan hit only .208/.333/.292 this spring, but with Michael Bourn (hamstring) out the Indians need some help in center field. The fiery outfielder should see plenty of playing time versus righties while Bourn is out and might be worth a look in deep fantasy formats. |
