Later that year, on August 30, 2013, the Mariners traded Morse to the Baltimore Orioles. Although his time with Baltimore was brief—appearing in just 12 games—he continued to be part of high-profile trades. Shortly after the season ended, he underwent wrist surgery on October 16, 2013.
World Series Champion with the San Francisco Giants
In 2014, Morse signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. Due to an injury to regular first baseman Brandon Belt, Morse stepped into the role and contributed significantly throughout the season. Despite a September injury that sidelined him for several weeks, Morse returned in time for the postseason.
In the 2014 World Series, the Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals in seven games. Morse played a key role, recording timely hits and ultimately earning his first World Series ring—a highlight in his career that spanned over a decade.
Later Career and Contract with the Miami Marlins
In 2015, Morse signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Miami Marlins. He began the season as their starting first baseman but struggled with performance. On July 30, 2015, the Marlins traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who shortly thereafter sent him to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Morse retired with an estimated net worth of $10 million, having played for several teams and contributed at critical moments throughout his MLB journey.
