Nyjer Morgan is a crazy character, but he's also a very talented outfielder. The speedster may have suitors from around the league this offseason. These five teams figure to be interested in him.

The Blue Jays have plenty of power in the middle of their order, and they could use some speed to go with it. Morgan's speed could help Toronto play more small ball and produce more runs in 2015.

They may lose Alex Rios to free agency this offseason, so the Rangers are going to be looking for other outfielders. While he's not as talented as Rios, Morgan could be a more cost-effective option in the outfield for the Rangers at least in 2015.

3. Cleveland Indians

The Indians saw for themselves exactly what Morgan brought to the table. While they have other priorities this offseason, Morgan could be brought back if he's willing to go on a one-year contract.

2. Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati needs some more speed to add to Billy Hamilton and boy, would Morgan provide that. Imagine a top of the order of Hamilton and Morgan. With those two at the top, this team could put a lot of runs on the board. It doesn't hurt that he has a history with the Cardinals, who are the Reds' biggest rival.

1. Detroit Tigers

Having a solid fourth outfielder would really benefit the Tigers. They really hit a home run by dealing for J.D. Martinez last year. He appears like a very nice option in the outfield, but adding Morgan would give Detroit some great depth and alternate options for outfield combos in the starting lineup.
