Brian Sabean said 90 percent of his conversations in the trade and free-agent markets revolve around pitching. In the wake of Esteban Loaiza's decision to sign with Oakland over San Francisco, Sabean continues his pursuit of free-agent Matt Morris. "I know from the conversations we've had (with Morris) that we're one of the teams of, quote, high interest," Sabean said. "It's in the agent's and player's hands as to how or when they want to accelerate it." Sabean characterized the free-agent market as "bogged down" as clubs and players await Wednesday's deadline for teams to offer their own free agents arbitration.
