President of baseball Scott Harris, as is his way, took it right to the wire Thursday, adding 41-year-old veteran starting pitcher Charlie Morton from the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers also got cash back in the deal and sent left-handed pitcher Micah Ashman, who was recently promoted to Double-A Erie, to the Orioles.

Shortly after the deadline passed, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that the Orioles have sent starting pitcher Charlie Morton to the Detroit Tigers (Note: deals can still be announced after the 6 PM deadline passes). In return, Baltimore will receive left-handed pitcher Micah Ashman, who will presumably join the Double-A Chesapeake Baysox.
