Cubs 'make sense' for Braves star pitcher in possible free agent shakeup

The Chicago Cubs have been red-hot lately.

Chicago has won seven of its last 10 games and currently has a 67-66 record. The Cubs currently are 5 1/2 games out of a National League Wild Card spot and could make a run at a spot if it can stay hot down the stretch.

The Cubs could be even better in 2025. Chicago likely will be busy in free agency and Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly mentioned the Cubs as a possible landing spot for Atlanta Braves star pitcher Max Fried.

"Max Fried is going to be one of the most interesting free agents this offseason because he's probably a better pitcher when healthy than Aaron Nola, who returned to the Philadelphia Phillies on a seven-year, $172 million deal after testing free agency last offseason," Kelly said.
