Why Braves star Max Fried cemented himself as 2025's top free agent pitcher with no-hit bid

On Saturday, Braves pitcher Max Fried was close to solidifying himself in team history after throwing seven innings without allowing a single hit. Now, Fried could just be history for the Braves. At the beginning of the 2024 season, things weren't exactly going Fried's way. After two short starts, Strider went down with an elbow injury, ending his season and putting Fried right back in the ace position.
