Yankees & Max Fried Rumors heating up!

[@jamesdime6865]

Closing in on Fried so that means he will sign with another team in an hour or so.

[@michelecoppola4653]

Not signing Soto was so smart

[@pete6356]

lol. That seems to be the way recently unfortunately.

[@dirtydigginnuts1455]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@rickdiaz3657]

I'll try to come back to this comment when he signs with the bluejays or giants 😪

[@daviddamascus9657]

Still grieving, eh?

[@michaellivingstone5356]

Bats will be too light that should be the concern. Look at Santander and trades for bellinger and arenado.

[@joansico3837]

If they sign Fried than they can trade Cortez or Schmidt for a bat

[@dareferee8760]

Pitching is better than batting

[@johnford5846]

Weird I just got this notification,..He already signed with the Yankees a week ago 🤔

[@Publiclighthouse]

Max Fried slotting behind Cole, signing Bregman for 3rd which would slide Jazz over to either 2nd or CF, and then signing Alonso for first base would cost less than Soto. Then perhaps you could swap Stroman for Bellinger who would play in the OF would make a good offseason.

[@dareferee8760]

We need to sign Fried and Burnes cause along with Rodon and Cole they will be the best rotation in baseball, championship rotation like Cone, clemens, petitte and Wells

[@Requinix17]

I think Stroman would be more likely to be on the chopping block than Nestor

[@mrfncreol]

Stromans contract is killing his trade bait.18 mil. Yankees would have to eat most of it to trade him. Nestor is coming to his last year of arbitration which will probably be 7-8 mil. Much easier to move him.

[@jsmitty2047]

I don’t mind this signing…now get Tucker! Make a damn statement!

[@tomstinnett4751]

Who do you see us getting to play 1st base and would Nolan Arrenado be a good fit?

[@bigtoe0341]

We should go after Alonso.

[@christiancastillo1875]

I would be weary of a big deal for a power pitcher with declining k rates. Fried's stuff will age better.

[@JohnS-l1l]

Is the Yankees in on Garrett crochet

[@JoVatore]

Off topic, but im not buying durbin starting. I think Cash is only acting high on him to trade him

[@Rocco-c5f]

No To Bregman, No To Alfonso...Yes To Fried....I''d Rather Have Him Than Burnes...(prob less $)

[@bwboy92]

I will say deal Stroman out. Yankee needs more left handed pitching and Nestor can be a valuable piece in bullpen and can be left handed starter games too.

[@johnennis7349]

Tired of rumors

[@MORNINGSTARJ316]

I think it’s time to think 1991 and2, step back from free agents this year, keep your powder dry, develop youth and sign free agents next year

[@daviddamascus9657]

Greetings, Yankees fans. Some of your comments are a little pessimistic about your franchise and its prestige and I think it really has a lot to do with losing a really big player. The wisdom of signing the worlds largest sports contract aside, I have some thoughts on this. I'm a Braves fan so let me give you an outsiders perspective. This isnt going to be hate for you guys. I have great respect for the Yankees. This is still the most successful sports franchise in U.S. history. For the longest time it seemed like the Yankees signed whoever they decided to because they were also willing to pay what wad needed. What doesn't get enough attention was their player development and evaluation. The Yankees consistently have a top farm to draw on and they frequently sign their top talent to longterm contracts. So whats changed? I would say a few things. The less important point, the willingness to spend money. There's just more competition. The Dodgers, Mets, Phillies, Astros, Rangers Braves and others have increased their spending beyond inflation. Yes, prestige means a lot but so does money. The more important change: teams have simply gotten better at player development closing the gap with teams like the Yankees. Teams like the Dodgers, Braves and Giants have vastly improved in these areas. Hell, if it wasn't for this, the Tampa Bay Rays would look like a minor league team in the majors. I dont think the Yankees are getting worse. The competition is getting better. The other teams had more room for improvement than the Yankees. I'm not going to say the Yankees dont have any course correction to do but they are still a top destination for the best talent to land.

[@MarvinLeSure]

trade stroganoff and nester get 2 sp Yankees need burnes and fried

[@GregoryWayne-zo2ws]

will be tough to find trade partners for Stro and Nestor. I believe they will both be on the squad in 2025 and can't have too many starting pitchers especially these days with all the arm injuries to the hard tossers.

[@pete6356]

Nestor has some trade value but Stro not so much.

[@MrCury65]

I'd rather burnes

[@bootman716]

Id take Burnes over Fried.

[@barkerm9]

I can’t help but feel like the Yankees franchise has lost so much prestige that the top free agents just don’t want to play there anymore. The only way they can sign anybody is to overpay, and they just don’t seem willing to increase the payroll. The only way they will win is by developing young players in my opinion.

[@GregoryWayne-zo2ws]

I have often thought the same. The culture, mindset and management might need an overhaul.

[@pete6356]

I think a lot of players think they can fleece the Yankees for more money and Cashman doesn’t bend too much.

[@wonderemporium6094]

That’s why 2017 was the best! We didn’t learn from that season at all. Astros cheated or not we didn’t hit but we were a game away from the World Series. It’s been down hill from there.

[@David_Valerio]

We don't need another inconsistent pitcher with an injury history.

[@PinstripeTerritory]

He’s been pretty damn consistent. Good luck finding a good pitcher who has had zero injuries.

[@David_Valerio]

@PinstripeTerritory You are right, his ERA is not as bad as I thought. However, he had only started 28 times in a season 4 times since 2017. He also has an ERA of 5.10 in the playoffs.

[@carlrball]

Focus on the pitching, all the way.

[@aryyahuwilliams-me1mz]

he had an 11-10 record last season. why are we considering this?

[@stephenarrigo5679]

A Pitcher's record is more a reflection of the team...His #'s are solid and he has good stuff.

[@PinstripeTerritory]

As Stephen said, wins and losses are a poor barometer for pitching success. He’s good

[@jeffy123az]

Hi

[@PinstripeTerritory]

Ayya doin?
