Max Fried’s free agency: 5 possible landing spots for LHP

Texas Rangers

The Rangers finished third in the AL West and missed the postseason after winning the World Series in 2023. They are now tasked with replacing free agents Nathan Eovaldi, Max Scherzer and Andrew Heaney in the starting rotation. The Rangers have been willing to offer expensive contracts in the past and expect to carry one of the highest payrolls into the 2025 season. A signing of Fried could help elevate the organization back into title contention.
