Sources: Braves Discussing Charlie Morton\'s Option For 2024 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:16 pm

The Atlanta Braves have had cursory discussions about exercising Charlie Morton\'s $20 million option for the 2024 season, according to sources.

The Braves haven\'t finalized the decision and Morton, 39, hasn\'t officially declared that he wants to pitch another year. 

Morton has a 3.42 ERA in 28 starts overall this season, and in his last four starts in August, he allowed one run in 24 innings, with 33 strikeouts. He hasn\'t allowed a home run in his past seven starts.

The Braves have been notably proactive in contract talks with their players, signing many of their young stars to long-term deals while locking down preferred veterans before they reach free agency.
