The New York Yankees made their first big splash in the offseason following their World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 season. The Bronx Bombers strengthened their rotation with All-Star ace Max Fried.
MLB insider Jeff Passan was first to break the news on Tuesday as the Yankees won the race for the coveted left-handed pitcher in free agency. According to Passan, the Yankees’ $218 million contract over eight years for Max Fried is the largest guarantee for a left-handed pitcher in MLB history.
“BREAKING: Left-hander Max Fried and the New York Yankees are in agreement on an eight-year, $218 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest guarantee in baseball history for a left-handed pitcher.”
Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty, who had a memorable 2024 season with reigning World Series winners, reacted to the Yankees signing Fried to the 4th largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history.
“YES SIR,” he wrote in the caption sharing Passan’s post.
“Deserves every dollar. Congrats my guy.”
