2023 Fantasy Outlook
This could be Morton's ride into the baseball sunset as he enters his age-39 season. Atlanta holds a team option for 2024 at $20 million. After helping the club get to and win a championship in 2021, Morton returned from the fractured fibula he suffered in the World Series to go 9-6 with a 4.34 ERA across 172 innings spanning 31 starts last season. For the second consecutive year, Morton was knocked out of the postseason by a comebacker, this time to the elbow although this one didn't do nearly as much damage. He can still drop his excellent curveball in for strikeouts -- he finished 10th in baseball with 205 punchouts last season -- but everything else in his repertoire is rather hittable at this stage. The walks ticked up last year (8.7 BB%) as he nibbled more. Morton has a great defensive outfield behind him and a lot of offense to support him so while there is some age-related decline showing, he can still do a lot of good for a fantasy team.
