So, MLB.com predicts the Dodgers will sign Max Fried away from their rival in the\u00a0Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Styles__StoryPartContainer-sc-1mfrmm0-0 cTMViG story-part markdown\">\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 eJdqRG\">\n<p>\u201cNo pitcher has posted a better ERA over the past half-decade than Fried. His 2.81 ERA since 2020 leads all big league pitchers during that stretch,\u201d the article\u00a0read. \u201cFried first established himself as a true ace during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season when he went 7-0 with a 2.25 ERA over 11 starts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s put up a 3.25 ERA or better in each of the four seasons since, including a 2.48 ERA in 2022 when he finished second in NL Cy Young Award voting. Fried will turn 31 in January, but he\u2019s proven he can be a top-end starter for a contender,\u201d the article added.<\/p>\n<p>Fried\u00a0went 11-0 with a 3.24 ERA in 29 starts last season\u00a0with the Braves. In the playoffs, he allowed 5 runs in 2 innings.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Would Fried Fit in With The Dodgers?<\/h2>\n<p>Fried would help bolster the Dodgers rotation mightily.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles ace next season will likely be\u00a0Yoshinobu Yamamoto\u00a0but behind him there are questions. Fried could be the Dodgers No. 2 starter and add some insurance should\u00a0Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and Dustin May don\u2019t recover as expected from injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani, of course, won\u2019t be ready to pitch on Openign Day so that means there is already a hole in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOhtani\u2019s shoulder procedure, fortunately, was to his non-throwing arm, and isn\u2019t expected to have any \u201cbig-picture\u201d impact on his ability to pitch next year, according to general manager Brandon Gomes,\u201d Jack Harris of the\u00a0Los Angeles Times wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Since entering the MLB in 2017, Fried\u00a0is 73-36 with a 3.07 ERA\u00a0in 168 games. The left-hander is a two-time All-Star and a World Series champion.<\/p>\n<h2>What Will Fried\u2019s Contract Look Like?<\/h2>\n<p>Fried is turning 31 in January and will get a hefty contract in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>In The Athletic\u2019s contract projection, they have Fried signing a five-year $120 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFried looks quite a bit like Nola as well, plying his trade effectively in the National League East while consistently on the periphery of Cy Young Award consideration. Jordan Zimmermann (last decade) and Kevin Gausman (this decade) are helpful, too,\u201d the\u00a0article read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sets a narrow range of $25 million to $29 million per season for Fried. Let\u2019s go toward the high end of that for five years,\u201d the article added.<\/p>\n<p>MLBTradeRumors, meanwhile, projects Fried to sign a six-year $156 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFried doesn\u2019t have the Cy Young Awards of the earlier pitchers on the list, but he has a pair of top-five finishes (including a 2022 runner-up showing) and has been the anchor of Atlanta\u2019s rotation for more than a half decade. He\u2019s all but a lock to post a low-3.00s or upper-2.00s ERA every season, with his earned run average clocking in at 3.25 or lower in each of the past five. Fried has a combined 2.81 ERA in 112 starts in that time,\u201d the article read.<\/p>\n<p>Fried can be the Dodgers No. 2 starter and help solidify the rotation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l-article__author-bio\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyLos Angeles Dodgers predicted to sign Max Fried.
