MORTON MOVED TO DETROIT
The Detroit Tigers acquired pitcher Charlie Morton from the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Micah Ashman.
What does it give the Detroit Tigers
The Tigers have big aspirations this season, so adding Morton provides added starting pitching depth for the stretch drive. Morton, who turns 42 later this year, can also pitch in relief.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles
Getting back any future assets in exchange for a soon-to-be-42-year-old Morton is always good. Ashman is a towering left-handed reliever who may have a future with Baltimore.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Morton will likely serve a depth role for Detroit and Ashman is mainly a left-handed pitching prospect and prospective relief specialist.
