The Atlanta Braves were eliminated in the National League Wild Card by the San Diego Padres in 2024. The team could be losing a key piece of their rotation in free agency as they try to get back on track in 2025.
While making predictions for every team's Opening Day lineup, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter predicted that Max Fried would sign with the Baltimore Orioles, replacing Corbin Burnes as the ace.
"The O's will have a ton of competition in their pursuit to re-sign ace Corbin Burnes, and if they are unable to bring him back, they will need to move quickly to find a suitable replacement to anchor the staff," wrote Reuter.
