Charlie Morton started his career with the Atlanta Braves and now he is returning to them on a one-year, $15 million contract. The 37-year-old Morton was 2-and-2 with a 4.74 ERA in nine starts for the Rays this past season and was a playoff star.
He was traded by the Braves to the Pirates in 2009 along with pitcher Jeff Locke and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez in exchange for outfielder Nate McLouth. Morton pitched seven seasons in Pittsburgh.
