A huge thank you to everyone that sent in questions for this week’s Atlanta Braves mailbag. I couldn’t get to all of them, but we are going to try do these more frequently over the final month of the regular season. Let’s go to it!
Do you think Alex Anthopoulos looks for a cost controlled starter this offseason with Max Fried’s departure looking more and more likely after next year?
Let’s just dive right in here. Max Fried’s injury kind of pushed off the discussion of his contract status. He is arbitration-eligible for the final time this offseason and will be a free agent at the end of the 2024 season.
