It is no secret that the Red Sox made a push this past winter to sign Charlie Morton before the veteran went to Atlanta, and the last time he was a free agent as well. They never got him (and he dominated for most of Tuesday’s start at Fenway), but they see a roadmap that can be used for Garrett Richards. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)
For as good as Morton was for the final two-thirds or so of his outing, the Red Sox had him on the ropes for the first couple of innings.
