Yankees show interest in Braves pitcher Max Fried as free agency approaches
The Atlanta Braves may lose All-Star pitcher Max Fried in free agency. The New York Yankees are reportedly interested in him, especially if they do not retain Juan Soto. The Yankees had a lengthy meeting with Fried, involving several team officials. Other American League East teams, including the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Orioles, are also pursuing him. Fried, a two-time All-Star, had a strong season with a 3.25 ERA and 166 strikeouts. If he leaves, the Braves will need to find a replacement, potentially opting for a less expensive option.
