I didn’t want him, or Burnes, at 8 years. That said … getting a rotation anchor type pitcher even at 8 years has tons of value. It might look bad at the end, but Soto probably won’t look too good at the end either. Getting someone like Fried for 5 years is optimal, but I’d take Fried at 8. It is a strong move by the Yanks.

As a Mets fan I’m so happy Fried is out of the division. With that said I really wanted him on the Mets, but never thought they would have got Soto… good move for Yankees

[@CCNYY]

I wrote the same thing about how the contract could age. Hopefully it can age similarly to how Mike Mussina's contracts with the Yankees aged. He had a couple of bad years but finished strong with the 20 wins. He had 15 wins when he was 37. I could see Fried kind of being a lefty version especially contract wise and how it ages. They both throw big curveballs and throw 91-94. Not to mention, they're great athletes as well. Mussina won several gold gloves and Fried has three. They were both good hitters. Fried had a career .214 average. Mussina had a .173 career average and had competitive at bats from time to time. Of course, pitchers don't bat anymore but the fact they could both hit shows that they are probably good athletes. Indeed they are good athletes. Talking about Fried now and Mussina when he pitched.

[@jasongoldberg4474]

Solid analogy, I’d be more than satisfied with a mussina-esque tenure also.

[@mustangmike418]

I agree with this 100% but i will Say that Fried does hit 97 mph quite frequently and sits around 94-96 mph regularly, and I definitely wouldn't set him in the 91-94 mph range, as that's not giving him the credit he's due.

I would say Max Fried got overpayed, but we live in a world where Juan Soto got $765 million so it can't be that bad

It can’t be that bad Juan Soto definitely got over paid he is not better than judge and ohtani and Soto really is probably in it for the money not for the legacy

[@andrewstark207]

I don’t think so, I think he honestly got underpaid, I mean he pitched better than Yamamoto. That’s just my opinion though

[@J0hnW1ck69]

@@andrewstark207as a braves fan, that’s an over pay for Fried. His elbow is gonna explode at any point and outside of 2021, don’t look at his playoff numbers. Pretty sure he is an above 5 ERA in October. I hope he is successful but that amount of money and length for a soon to be 31 year old pitcher with recent injury history and bad playoff pitcher

[@TheMisterthoms]

8 years is a lot for him. 5 seemed sane. I guess he had multiple bidders and the Yankees went the 8th year after missing Soto. Chronic blisters, forearms, hamstring, and Tommy John surgery. He breaks down at the end of the season, which is why he seems more injury prone than it might appear. The troubling thing with him was that his breaking stuff wasn't as effective in 2024. His walks were up and his strikeouts were down because he wasn't as effective as he's been in the past. His xBA was up. As a ground ball pitcher you have to wonder with the Yankees defense if this was a good pick up. Grade: B-

[@jacobfeliciano9005]

Yankees defense won’t be known. Gleyber won’t be back and Jazz is gonna be at 2nd or 3rd. If this alleged Walker signing comes through the infield looks a million times better for Fried.

[@penguinfan774]

If Toronto can get gimenez back to a league average bat it’s a big win. Also it frees up the DH for a big add there. Toronto needs to make more moves to make this trade make sense, as on its own it’s not an amazing deal

[@frankiev6207]

Fried uses 7 pitches so I'm not overly concerned about any fastball dip or needing to learn how to pitch off his fastball. The Yankees logic is pretty simple losing soto means most likely their offense won't score as many runs as they did with soto in the lineup so how do you fix that ? Rebuild the infield defensively and get a pitcher with a high groundball rate who has a stellar era over the last 5 seasons.

[@EpicGamer14_]

I think what the fried move says is that the Yankees are gonna look to the trade market to upgrade their offense. They have 7 starters for 5 spots. Obviously you can never have too much pitching but I think at least one maybe even two starters are gonna be moved. The pitching market is insane. Stroman is kind of in line with what starters are getting this offseason. Nestor is a steal at like 8 mil. Gil could even be traded.

Giménez makes sense for the Blue Jays because their infield defense really sucks between Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette.

[@eulalawrence841]

You won't find a bigger Max Freid supporter than I, but even I can agree he isn't worth that contract. Yankee fans, besides the realstic ones, are just trying their best to stay positive to make up for losing Soto. That doesn't mean he isn't a good pitcher, when healthy he can be sub-ace type pitcher, but staying healthy is exactly his problem now. We Braves fans know he's only one or two more injuries away from being out the league. Which is exactly why the Braves have spent 1st round draft picks on pitchers, traded for Sale, and signed Lopez. Fried was out the door after his first few starts after coming back from that first injury, which was two seasons ago. Hoping the absolute best for Fried, I hope he goes out there and wins a Cy Young (and I would still absolutely adore him), but realistically his top pitcher days are pretty much over. Yankees paying him ace caliber money, for eight years, might flip that franchise upside down in the near future.
