DALLAS — The New York Yankees hope Max Fried pitches like he did in 2021 — when he won the World Series clincher for the Atlanta Braves.
Two days after the Yankees lost Juan Soto to the rival Mets, Fried agreed Tuesday to join the pinstripes with a $218 million, eight-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. Fried 's deal is the largest for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, $1 million more than David Price's seven year contract with the Boston Red Sox ahead of the 2016 season.
The Yankees then redirected money to starting pitching, though Fried represents some risk: The two-time All-Star has been on the injured list 10 times since 2018, including at least once each season.A high school teammate of Jack Flaherty and Lucas Giolito at Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles, Fried gets the fourth-highest contract among pitchers behind the Los Angeles Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto , the Yankees' Gerrit Cole and Washington's Stephen Strasburg .
