Adam Ottavino has declined his $6.75M player option with the Mets, making him a free agent. Meanwhile, the Braves have exercised Charlie Morton's $20 million option for next season, bringing him back for a fourth season in Atlanta. The Braves also declined Eddie Rosario's $9M option, making him a free agent as well. The decision to bring back Morton was a significant one for the Braves, as there was internal discussion about declining it, but ultimately, they decided to retain him for another season.
