SARASOTA, Fla. — Charlie Morton, 41 years young, can’t retire from his childhood dream just yet.
The Braves’ offseason didn’t have many surprises, but Morton’s status became a key one. Many believed Morton would retire following the 2024 campaign. That certainly was the vibe in the Braves clubhouse after they were eliminated in San Diego in October. But Morton said then he hadn’t decided on his future. True to his words, he hadn’t.
After he and his family considered their options, he decided to continue his illustrious late-career blossoming — in Baltimore. Morton is starting anew.
