The left-handed pitcher signed an eight-year, $218 million contract with the New York Yankees, as reported by ESPN&rsquo;s Jeff Passan. <em>&ldquo;It is the largest guarantee in baseball history for a left-handed pitcher,&rdquo;<\/em> Passan noted.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fried&rsquo;s historic contract<\/h2><p>Fried, who turns 31 in January, now holds the fourth-highest pitcher contract overall, trailing only Yoshinobu Yamamoto ($325 million), Gerrit Cole ($324 million), and Stephen Strasburg ($245 million). His deal narrowly surpasses the $217 million mark set by David Price.

In 2023, he posted an 11-10 record with a 3.25 ERA across 29 starts, striking out 166 batters in 174 1\/3 innings. Despite some struggles in the postseason, including a rough outing against the Padres, Fried is remembered for his dominant six shutout innings that secured the Braves&rsquo; 2021 World Series title.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yankees&rsquo; rotation gets a boost<\/h2><p>The Yankees, whose rotation already features Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rod&oacute;n, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt, add Fried as a solid No. 2 starter. Max Fried arrival comes after the team failed to sign star outfielder Juan Soto, who opted for the Mets.

Cortes, coming off a 3.77 ERA season, could attract interest as a mid-rotation option for other teams.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fried&rsquo;s skillset and injury concerns<\/h2><p>Max Fried brings versatility with his seven-pitch repertoire. His fastball averages 93.9 mph, complemented by an effective curveball and other secondary pitches. According to Statcast, four of his pitches generated positive run values in 2023.<\/p><p>However, durability remains a concern. Fried has been on the injured list every season since 2018, dealing with various issues including blisters, hamstring strains, and forearm neuritis. These injuries didn&rsquo;t deter the Yankees, who believe his skillset outweighs the risks.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Sox miss out again<\/h2><p>The Boston Red Sox continue to miss out on top targets.

Reports suggest Nestor Cortes, Cody Poteet, and others could move in trades to address needs in the bullpen or outfield. As Bryan Hoch of MLB.com noted, <em>&ldquo;Scanning the 40-man roster, the Yanks have several players who could fuel discussion to varying degrees.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>The Yankees&rsquo; success now hinges on how well their rotation stays healthy and delivers.
