The Atlanta Braves have signed Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million contract.

Morton, 37, hit the market after the Tampa Bay Rays declined his $15 million option for 2021.

Tampa Bay wanted to re-sign Morton, but weren't willing to match Atlanta's offer.

Morton was drafted by the Braves in 2002.

The Atlanta Braves have signed Drew Smyly to a one-year, $11 million contract.

Smyly, 31, was 0-1 with a 3.42 ERA in five starts and two relief appearances last season for the San Francisco Giants.

"This is an upside play, no doubt about it," Alex Anthopoulos said. "Obviously, we'll find out eight months from now, 10 months from now how it worked out. But we think Drew has tremendous upside. He's only scratched the surface."

The Colorado Rockies have signed Dereck Rodriguez to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training.

Rodriguez, 28, is the son of Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

Dereck Rodriguez appeared in 51 games over three seasons with the San Francisco Giants. He compiled a 12-15 record with a 4.27 ERA before being designated for assignment by the Giants on Aug. 26.

Nine months after the Boston Red Sox and manager Alex Cora parted ways following revelations about his involvement in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, the two sides are back together.

A last-place finish in a season shortened by COVID-19 meant Ron Roenicke's run as skipper wouldn't continue into 2021. On Friday, Boston rehired Cora after his previous 27-month stint ended abruptly when he was implicated in Major League Baseball's investigation. Cora had served as Houston's bench coach in 2017.
