Sorry, Charlie.
MLB Network's Jon Morosi reported Thursday the Tampa Bay Rays will not make starting pitcher Charlie Morton available ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 31.
This is Morton's first season as a Ray, as the 35-year-old signed a two-year contract ahead of this season after most recently pitching for the Houston Astros in 2017 and 2018.
So far in 2019, Morton has a 12-3 record paired with a 2.60 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
The Rays, meanwhile, are 10 games back of the division-leading New York Yankees in the American League East but just one game behind the second AL wild-card spot prior to the league's Thursday night slate finishing.
