Remembering the trade that brought retiring hero Charlie Morton to Pirates

Charlie Morton has officially wrapped up his illustrious MLB career. Morton pitched in parts of 18 MLB seasons, seven of which were spent with the Pittsburgh Pirates. His final outing of his career came during the last game of the 2025 season with the Atlanta Braves, which ironically came against the Pirates. Morton finished off his career in a stadium featuring the two teams that were most familiar with him on the field. Needless to say, the trade that originally landed Morton on the Pirates should still be looked back upon fondly.

The Bucs acquired Morton on June 3, 2009 from the Braves.
