Max Fried had a career year in 2020. Can he carry over his stellar performance into the new season in 2021?
Freddie Freeman may have won the NL MVP award in 2020, but a strong case can be made that Max Fried was the Atlanta Braves MVP. He held together a starting rotation that was a disaster, and that is putting it kindly.
Guys like Tommy Milone and Robby Erlin were given shots due to injuries and opt-outs. Bryse Wilson, Kyle Wright, and Touki Toussaint struggled through growing pains.
