The Atlanta Braves were decimated by injuries in 2024. They may be healthier in 2025 but could be losing some key players in free agency as well. The New York Yankees are suddenly well-equipped to spend after losing Juan Soto and could target one of the Braves starters.
While predicting the next five moves for the Yankees, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter predicted that the team would sign Braves All-Star Max Fried.
"Adding Fried to the mix would give the Yankees another ace-caliber starter to plug into the No. 2 spot in the rotation, which makes the entire staff as a whole stronger by sliding everyone else down a spot," wrote Reuter.
