Charlie Morton Signs With Rays
6 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays signed free-agent starting pitcher Charlie Morton to a two-year, $30 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources with knowledge of the deal. The deal also includes a third-year option that could be as low as $1 million if Morton misses significant time over the first two years because of injury. The option could be as much as $15 million if he stays healthy. The 35-year-old was an All-Star for the first time in 2018 when he won 15 games. He was 29-10 with a 3.36 ERA in his two years in Houston and will be a high-end fantasy No. 2 starter, although one that could struggle to be as good as he was in the last two years, especially in the tough American League East.
