Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract. The 41-year-old Morton was the hero of Game 7 of the 2017 World Series with the Houston Astros. He will try to fill a hole in Baltimore’s rotation. It will be Morton’s 18th major league season. The Orioles also signed 35-year-old Tomoyuki Sugano of Japan this offseason to a $13 million, one-year deal. Baltimore lost its ace from 2024 in Corbin Burnes, who signed a $210 million contract with Arizona last month. Morton has a career record of 138-123. He pitched 165 1/3 innings for the Braves last year, posting a 4.19 ERA.
