Joe Patrick, Braves reporter for 92.9 The Game, stopped by Dukes & Bell Friday ahead of the Braves’ weekend series with the Tampa Bay Rays to begin the second half of the season. He says Friday’s starter, Charlie Morton, could land a haul back if the team chooses to deal him ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
“You know Charlie Morton I think would go for quite a bit," Patrick said. "I think you would get a pretty good return for him considering how good he has looked. I know the numbers aren’t quite there but his stuff has looked so good.”
