The Baltimore Orioles are adding to their pitching depth.
The team announced on X that it had signed veteran right-handed starting pitcher Charlie Morton to a one-year contract.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported that the deal is worth $15 million.
Morton is entering his 18th MLB season and is a two-time All-Star with 383 career wins and two World Series rings. The 41-year-old went 8-10 with a 4.19 ERA in 165.1 innings in 2024 with the Atlanta Braves and is a reliable back-of-rotation starter.
The Orioles lost ace Corbin Burnes on the free agent market but still have a solid rotation headlined by Zach Eflin, Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer. The team also signed Tomoyuki Sugano from the NPB this offseason.
