Okay, so, about Max Fried’s salary, this thing had me going in circles for a bit. I started digging into it because, well, I’m a huge Braves fan, and I heard all these rumors about him potentially leaving because of contract issues.
I started by just googling around, you know, the usual stuff, trying to figure out what he was actually making and what the deal was.
I found some sites that were all like, “Oh yeah, he’s making $13.5 million this year,” and some that mentioned his current net worth at around $28,000 or something. That got me thinking, “Is that all? For an ace pitcher?”
Then, I dug a little deeper and stumbled upon some articles talking about his new contract. The numbers were way bigger. I read that he signed a new deal with a $20 million bonus! That’s huge, right? Half of it’s coming next year, and the rest the year after. Plus, his yearly salary is going up to $12 million for the first two years and then jumps to $29 million for the next six! I know, it’s not very logical, but I was overwhelmed by those figures.
But here’s where it got interesting. I realized that even with this massive contract, some people were saying he might still leave the Braves. Apparently, other teams might be willing to offer him even more, like $25 to $30 million a year. Can you believe that? Then I remembered one article that talked about how the Braves had let another player, Dansby Swanson, go for a big contract. It made me wonder if they’d do the same with Fried.
- First, I was just looking at his current salary.
- Then, I found out about his new contract with the big bonus.
- After that, I learned that he might still leave for an even bigger offer.
- Finally, I realized that the Braves might let him go, just like they did with Swanson.
Anyway, I spent a good chunk of time piecing all this information together. It’s kind of crazy how much money these guys make, but I guess that’s the world of professional sports. I ended up creating a little spreadsheet to keep track of all the numbers and compare Fried’s contract to other players’.
I figured out that the Braves might not be willing to match those insane offers from other teams. It’s a bummer because I really like Fried, and he’s been great for the team. But, you know, business is business. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
So yeah, that’s my little deep dive into Max Fried’s salary situation. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but hey, that’s what makes being a sports fan exciting, right?
