Back to the Tampa Bay Rays Newsfeed

Charlie Morton, a key member of the 2017 Astros, wasn’t interviewed by MLB — Why?

The Tampa Bay Rays held their annual Fan Fest on Saturday, which serves as the kickoff for the 2020 baseball season. Fanfest offers our first glimpse of the members of the 2020 Rays squad, including Charlie Morton. Morton gave his first interview since the Houston sign-stealing scandal was exposed. Perhaps the most surprising and disturbing takeaway from his remarks? Although Morton had spend all the 2017 with the Astros, and had a prime bench seat from which to follow dugout goings-on those days he was not pitching, MLB investigators never interviewed him as part of their deep dive into the cheating scandal.
