Orioles called 'favorite match' to poach Braves' projected $136M star

Soon enough, speculation swirling around Atlanta Braves star Max Fried will stop.

Fried is a two-time All-Star and has been one of the most dependable options for Atlanta over the last eight years. He helped lead the Braves to a World Series title, but he is a free agent and it's unclear if he will be back.

All of the speculation and rumors point to Fried ultimately leaving the organization this winter. While this is the case, nothing substantial has been reported and there's certainly still a chance he could come back.

If he does decide to leave Atlanta, though, The Athletic's Jim Bowden called the Baltimore Orioles his "favorite match" for the star lefty.
