    Sad to see him go, but good for him. Saw somewhere that his career earnings prior to this deal were right around $40 million. He just secured the financial future of his family for generations to come. I hope he has all the success in the world with Tampa. He’ll always have a place in Astros lore as a true Astros legend.

    I mostly get it from a baseball/salary standpoint, but it sucks from a sentimental standpoint.

    Not a superstar but this man will forever be a Houston sports legend after Game 7.

    Good for Morton. Bad for the Astros.

    I wonder if he will start for the Rays.

    They have to be really worried about that injury for them not to match.

    Gotta think we saw something with his injury to turn us off of him

    I’m disappointed that the Astros did not retain CM if he is in fact healthy. Good on Charlie, I’m happy for him.

    He was as clutch as could have been in the 2017 postseason and he’s legend because of it. He will be missed.

    Did the Astros get a Draft Pick from the Rays by giving a Qualifying offer to Morton, but he Rejected it?
