CBS Sports' R.J. Anderson named the Atlanta Braves a possible suitor for one of the best starting pitchers of the last generation.
But one countermove the Braves could make to combat losing Fried is sign another Max who once pitched for both the Dodgers and Mets -- Max Scherzer.the Braves one of three potential landing spots for Scherzer.
"Besides, he performed well when he was able to, leaving us no doubt that a team will gladly sign him to a one-year pact -- if only to ensure they're mentioned some day down the road, when he's giving his induction speech in Cooperstown."Scherzer as one of four possible starting pitchers the Braves could sign to a 1-year contract.
But with the players they have coming back from injury, the Braves will very likely be in position to compete for a championship next fall. Therefore, they shouldn't shy away from signing expensive veterans on short-term deals. Late in his thirties, Scherzer hasn't been able to be the same workhorse he once was. But he's been effective when on the mound, particularly in the postseason. He won the World Series with the Washington Nationals in 2019 and Texas Rangers in 2023.
