Even this late in the offseason, the Hot Stove has shown no signs of cooling.

When it comes to predicting division winners, Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi only agree on one thing.The Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals and Oakland A’s reached agreement on a three-team trade Wednesday: Outfielder/first baseman Mike Morse was sent from Washington to Seattle, minor-league right-handers A.J. Cole and Blake Treinen moved from Oakland to Washington and catcher John Jaso from Seattle to Oakland.
The Nationals also will receive a player to be named later from Oakland.
Morse became expendable once Washington traded for Denard Span and re-signed Adam LaRoche to play first base. Morse had a .791 OPS with 18 home runs in 102 games for the Nationals last season, a regression from his career year in 2011.
The Mariners haven’t been able to land a proven All-Star slugger for the middle of their lineup — Justin Upton rejected a trade to Seattle last week — so they have added quantity instead. Morse now fits in a left field/first base/designated hitter matrix that also includes Jason Bay, Raul Ibanez, Justin Smoak, Kendrys Morales and Jesus Montero.
Long undervalued, Jaso likely will be the left-handed half of a catching platoon with Oakland’s Derek Norris. Jaso is coming off his best offensive season — a .850 OPS in 108 games. Cole is returning to his original organization, after the A’s traded him to Washington last offseason for Gio Gonzalez.
