Braves sign Charlie Morton
1 year $15 million
1 year $15 million
Same exact number as the club option Tampa declined.
Thought they could get him cheaper.

I thought he wanted to remain in Tampa. I would have thought he'd go elsewhere for only more money
It was a club option. They thought they could get him cheaper because he has family in Clearwater.
They guessed wrong.
Gotcha. Still thought he wanted FLA and no where else
it's a little more than an hour flight from Atlanta to Tampa. Guess he figured the extra millions would make up for it.
I'm just glad he's out of the east. Yankees could never hit his curveball.

Helps the Red Sox as well. Super glad he didn't go to Yanks
Hearing you guys are in the market for JA Happ.
Good luck with that. He does have pretty good Fenway numbers career-wise.
Morton made it clear that he wanted to stay close to home, and Atlanta is pretty close to Clearwater, relatively. He wasn't going to go too many other places. I think the chance of being in the post-season with another team looked good to him.
I thought Morton would look good in Boston.
he supposedly was open to the east coast. Mostly cause he would love in Florida from November through late March, at least). But atl is a good fit too
