The Braves announced on Monday that they picked up pitcher Charlie Morton’s $20 million option. Atlanta drafted Morton back in 2002 and spent his rookie year with the Braves in 2008. He returned to the team in 2020 and later signed an extension with the club option for 2024.
The organization decided not to pick up the option for outfielder Eddie Rosario, relief pitcher Kirby Yates and relief pitcher and Gwinnett native Collin McHugh. The team previously announced it would not bring back relief pitcher Brad Hand.
