Starting pitcher Charlie Morton has agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal with the Braves, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
The Braves had shown a strong interest in the 37-year-old this offseason. He will add a high-quality veteran presence to the team's starting rotation that also features Mike Soroka, Max Fried, Ian Anderson and Drew Smyly. Atlanta signed Smyly to a one-year, $11 million deal last week.
Feinsand reports the Braves and Rays were the finalists to land Morton. Late last month, Tampa Bay declined Morton's $15 million club option, making him a free agent.
