The Atlanta Braves still have a Max Fried-sized hole in their rotation. Could they bring in one of his former high school teammates to fill it?
One of the great bits of baseball trivia these days is that Fried shared a rotation at Harvardr-Westlake in Southern California with former Los Angeles Dodgers World Series starter Jack Flaherty and current Boston Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito.
With Fried and Giolito signed, Flaherty remains one of the top free agents on the market this winter. The Braves have four excellent starters at the moment, but adding a fifth could solidify them as World Series contenders.
