Assuming he doesn’t decide to retire, do we bring him back for $20M next year?

It is the opportunity of getting a 3+ Win pitcher at 20 million.
That said would Charlie get 20 million on the FA market. I guess that is the question. But in todays market. 20 million for a Morton type is a bargain. Heck we gave Hamels 18 million and he was t even healthy.
Having Morton as one of your five starters with the other four being who they are is a luxury. We would still have depth in AAA. And that would finish the rotation so we only would have a few holes to fill

Just dreaming...can you imagine a Starting Rotation of
Degrom
Strider
Fried
Wright
Soroka
That may have to be the best rotation ever constructed in Atlanta.

Yes. He’s worth the money.
If degrom wants to come then you go 6 man rotation

I have a feeling at the end we finish trading Soroka away.
I don't think he will come back.
Pass for me. Maybe if he can live with $12m.
Maybe talk to him and see if he would come back for 12-14 million if the team declined the option?
It’s going to be the decision that effects other moves for sure. It’s hard to see Ian or Muller back in AAA.
If we keep Morton and Soroka is back to 80% of his previous self, it could open the door to trade both of them. I don’t even know who we’d go after but it’d be an option.
We’d still have Tarnok, Shuster, Elder, and Vines in AAA with Dodd and Salinas in AA to bridge the gap to the next wave of SP prospects.
