The Phillies are reportedly interested in a reunion with Charlie Morton, who wants to pitch on the East Coast in 2021.
Ever since starting pitcher Charlie Morton last donned a Philadelphia Phillies uniform in April 2016, his career arguably has turned around for the better. There is a chance he could don red pinstripes once again, five years later.
The Tampa Bay Rays recently declined Morton’s $15 million option for 2021, making him a free-agent, although Rays General Manager Erik Neander hinted the club would be interested in bringing him back on a lesser deal.
