The Los Angeles Dodgers have been named a popular potential landing spot for Atlanta Braves free agent left-handed starter Max Fried this offseason. If Fried signed with the Dodgers, he would join former Braves teammate Freddie Freeman in Los Angeles.

The Braves may need to replace Max Fried with a pitcher who would actually perform with the season on the line.

One player who could be a great fit for the Braves in this case is New York Mets starter Luis Severino. He had a 3.91 ERA across 31 starts for the Mets and bounced back in a major way after a down year in 2023 with the New York Yankees.

Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer called the Atlanta Braves a fit for what he considers the top trade candidate for the AL West division winners.
