Veteran Pitcher Signs $20 Million Contract
Atlanta Braves have reached an agreement with veteran pitcher Charlie Morton for a one-year, $20 million contract.
This deal ensures that Morton will remain in the Braves' rotation for the upcoming 2023 season. The 39-year-old right-hander has been a key contributor to the Braves' recent success, helping them win the World Series in 2021.
Morton had a strong 2022 season, posting a 14-6 record with a 4.34 ERA in 31 starts. He also had 196 strikeouts in 185.2 innings pitched.
The Braves are hoping that Morton can continue to be a reliable presence in their rotation in 2023. He will be counted on to provide innings and leadership to a young pitching staff.
