I would stay put.

I have some concerns about what you'd be getting outside of Reimold (who is a great young player). Brandon Wood finally has a good shot at starting but he comes with a lot of question marks. He strikes out a lot and doesn't walk much. Maicer Izturis will steal time from him if he struggles for a prolonged stretch. He looks like he'll be a .250-.260 hitter with 20+ HRs for the next few years. Suzuki on the other hand is an underrated player in my eyes, but his workload at catcher is troubling. 140+ games at catcher in back-to-back years is tough. He's going to start breaking down fairly soon if this trend continues.

The only player you're really giving up is Morales but he's more proven than anyone else and his peripheral's suggest he'll be able to repeat. I see him as a .280-290 hitter with 30+ HRs for the foreseeable future.

Reimold is an intriguing player, but I don't think he's worth giving up Morales.
