MLB Rumors: Braves' Max Fried Could Be Trade Candidate After Sean Murphy Deal

Despite signing seemingly every one of their young stars to a long-term extension, the Atlanta Braves' rising payroll could cause them to trade Max Fried.

On MLB Network's Hot Stove (h/t MLB.com), Jim Callis of MLB.com noted there are "rumors" Fried could be moved this offseason if he doesn't sign an extension with the club.

This report comes after the Braves acquired All-Star catcher Sean Murphy from the Oakland Athletics in a three-team trade with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
