ATLANTA — The Braves won against pitcher Max Fried in salary arbitration, as a panel of arbitrators ruled in the club’s favor Saturday, multiple people familiar with the matter confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In 2023, Fried will make $13.5 million — the figure the club filed — instead of the $15 million he sought in his third year of arbitration.
Last year, Fried won in arbitration and earned $6.85 million. Fried and the Braves settled at $3.5 million to avoid arbitration for 2021.
