re: ATL Thread | 2023 offseason hot takes + discussion

You guys sure do get worked up over words on a message board. All I care about are actions. Fried has his chance to to prove he’s the best lefty in the game (which doesn’t mean squat if all lefties stink) or more importantly, he has a chance to actually lead this team deep into the playoffs and not disappear in the post season like he has for 2 years in a row. I hope he wins every game and leads us to another World Series title.

And I’m not pre-coping in anyway. I’ve said several times that we should trade Fried right now and get something of value out of him before he signs elsewhere. I simply believe his best baseball is behind him and he is now in the category of injury prone up and down former Ace so I’d rather get some value for him before he goes 12-7 and misses 2 months. But since it doesn’t look like we’ll trade him then I hope we get the good Max this October.
