Yankees Land Max Fried in Major Deal
Two days following Juan Soto's decision to join the New York Mets, the New York Yankees made significant waves in the baseball world by securing left-handed pitcher Max Fried. The Yankees and Fried reportedly reached an agreement on an eight-year, $218 million contract, pending a physical examination. This groundbreaking deal marks the largest monetary guarantee in history for a left-handed pitcher, surpassing many illustrious players but still trailing behind the astonishing contracts of Gerrit Cole and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
