Braves Avoid Arbitration with Left-Handers Max Fried and A.J. Minter

Fried Tops Arb-Eligible List with $15M Deal, Minter Signs for $6.22M. Atlanta Braves

Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried tops the list of players who avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $15 million contract for 2024.
Fried, who turns 30 next week, was an All-Star in 2022 and helped the Braves to a 2021 World Series title.
Atlanta Braves also struck a deal with left-hander A.J. Minter for $6.22 million.
Fried and Minter can become free agents following the season.
The signings mean the Braves will avoid any arbitration hearings this offseason, barring trades for other eligible players.
