The Atlanta Braves sadly could lose a star this winter.
All-Star starting pitcher Max Fried is available in free agency and there clearly will be a bidding war for his services. The price is going to be high and clear $100 million and possibly even $150 million.
It has been widely speculated that he will end up signing elsewhere, although that isn't confirmed anywhere and there's always a chance he could return until he signs elsewhere. Hopefully, that ends up being the case.
The Braves will have to plan other options, though. One player who was floated as a possible option to replace Fried and Los Angeles Dodgers star Jack Flaherty by Newsweek's Zach Pressnell.
