Braves linked to projected $172 million star to replace Max Fried

The Atlanta Braves will need to take a look at the starting rotation this winter.

Atlanta's rotation has been a strength for the club in 2024 despite losing Spencer Strider. Chris Sale is looking like the National League Cy Young Award winner, and Max Fried, Charlie Morton, Reynaldo López, and Spencer Schwellenbach all held their own for the Braves this season.

Fried has been a star for the Braves over the last eight years, but he will be a free agent and possibly could leave this winter. If he does, the club should be in the market for a new hurler, with Fried and Morton both hitting free agency.
