2025 Fantasy Outlook
The right-hander turned 41 years old in November and signed with Baltimore for his 18th MLB season after a four-year run in Atlanta. He was a reliable rotation piece during that span and closed out 2024 with a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 167:65 K:BB across 165.1 innings. That's only about a half-run higher than the ERA from the prime of his career, and he's made at least 30 starts in each of the past six full-length seasons. Morton lost a little bit of his velocity with an average fastball of 94 mph, and his 23.8 percent strikeout rate was his worst mark since 2015. Father Time is certainly creeping up on Morton, but he's managed to remain an effective back-end starter to this point, and he could provide fantasy managers with some strikeouts and innings if they're comfortable with the age risks.

Hit around for five runs
Morton (0-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in five innings in a loss to the Guardians on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Morton's struggles continued, as he's now given up four-plus earned runs in six straight starts (dating back to the end of last season) for the first time in his 18-year career. Walks in the third contributed to the Guardians' first run of the game and they poured on three more in the fifth, including a two-run homer from Steven Kwan. Morton will continue to stick in the rotation while the Orioles' top two starters are on the shelf. He lines up to face the Reds in Baltimore on Sunday.

Morton continued to fend off Father Time by starting 30 games. He's started at least that many every season since 2018, excluding the truncated 2020 campaign. Morton's control showed signs of age as he posted an 11.6 percent walk rate, the highest since his rookie season. His 25.6 percent strikeout rate dropped a couple of ticks, but it was still within range of the previous few seasons. Morton's elevated walk rate resulted in his highest WHIP since 2012, but Lady Luck was on his side with a low 9.4 percent home run per fly ball rate and a 77.6 percent left on base mark, keeping his ERA in check, albeit at least half a run below the associated estimators. Morton's didn't lose any velocity, but it's still fair to be worried about his spike in control. Atlanta isn't concerned as they picked up Morton's $20 million team option for his 40-year-old season. Hoping for one more productive season is defensible, but Morton should be considered a luxury item, and not counted on as a staff staple.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Not expected back in Atlanta
Atlanta and Morton have had no recent contract discussions and the pitcher is not expected to re-sign, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Brien writes that Atlanta's interest in Morton "seems to have waned" and the club appears focused on other needs right now. Morton, 41, plans to continue pitching in 2025 and is open to fielding offers from other clubs. The veteran right-hander prefers to pitch for a team with a spring training complex close to his home in Bradenton, FL, which narrows the field of potential suitors.
