recently released his Top 45 MLB free agents list for the 2024-25 offseason and ranked Fried No. 5 overall."Max Fried has a career record of 73-36 with a 3.07 ERA and 3.29 FIP. He’s made two All-Star teams, won two Gold Glove awards and finished top-five in the Cy Young Award voting twice," Bowden wrote. "He’s made 28 to 30 starts in three of the last four seasons but has dealt with injuries, including left forearm neuritis each of the last two years.
Fried spent time on the 15-day IL with forearm neuritis in 2024 and was limited to 14 starts in 2023 due to a forearm strain, hamstring strain and finger blister.
