The baseball offseason is in full swing and it has been a rollercoaster ride so far. Just yesterday, the Braves took another starting rotation hit. Charlie Morton is officially leaving the Atlanta Braves and heading to Baltimore.
The 41-year-old veteran is known for his clutch performances and that unforgettable 2021 World Series run.
He has signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Orioles. The Os just added a seasoned arm to their rotation—one who still knows how to deliver when it counts.
Morton’s departure marks the end of an era for Braves fans. Over four seasons, he became a key piece of Atlanta’s pitching staff, and let’s not forget his heroic performance in the World Series, where he pitched through a fractured leg.
Baltimore hopes he can bring that same tenacity to a team that’s been on the rise and looking to make a serious playoff push.
