It hasn’t been a very active offseason for the Atlanta Braves thus far, but maybe that’s by design. The Braves were surprisingly casual about allowing two-time All-Star starting pitcher Max Fried walk in free agency. They were certainly never going to match the $218 million price from the New York Yankees, but they looked resigned […]

Who can the Braves get to fill out their rotation? In 2024, the Atlanta Braves suffered numerous injuries. The season was disastrous, with the loss of ace Spencer Strider in April, Ronald Acuña Jr. in May, and Chris Sale in the playoffs. Then free agency arrived, and they lost two crucial pitchers. Max Fried is […]

The Atlanta Braves were unable to get Max Fried earlier this winter, and they are also unlikely to sign Charlie Morton. Atlanta struggled with starting pitching depth in 2024, and it could worsen in 2025. Cody Williams from FanSided recently offered an intriguing idea to the Braves.

The Atlanta Braves still have a strong starting rotation, but there is a huge void in the middle. Last week, Max Fried, a two-time Braves All-Star, signed with the New York Yankees for an eight-year, $218 million contract that Atlanta would never match. Fried had placed neatly behind ace Chris Sale in the Braves’ 2024 […]

Unlike Freddie Freeman’s free agency odyssey, Max Fried’s departure from Atlanta was relatively underwhelming. For more than a year, observers anticipated that the Braves’ pitcher would move for richer pastures, firmly claiming that his excellent performance had priced him out of the team’s budget. It turns out that those commentators were more accurate than they […]

The Atlanta Braves have been unusually quiet this summer. The Braves squad doesn’t require many additions, yet they haven’t even been mentioned among the clubs threatening to sign any of the big-name players. Starting pitcher Max Fried has already left Atlanta for the New York Yankees, and veteran Charlie Morton is poised to follow. The […]
