Max Fried's New York Yankees Introductory Press Conference

[@strkeout]

So far the best offseason Cashman has had since 2009.

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

We need Profar in left field or center field

[@Ksp0626]

He has been busy

[@JackieDaytona1776]

Good because we're miles and miles away from being a championship team. How about adding some people that can catch a fly ball with the season on the line?

[@strkeout]

@ you’re really ripping the league MVP who’s made one error in the OF over the last 3 seasons? You must really be perfect at whatever it is you do.

[@JackieDaytona1776]

@strkeout I'm not perfect at what I do, but I don't literally drop the ball when everything is on the line. I'm also not getting paid $40MM a year. This is the Bronx. I'll take an El Duque over a Pedro 100 times out of 100. I do not care what you do from April through September assuming you play like an idiot in October. That's why Stanton plays like a Yankee and Judge is just a nice guy who is on pace to be considering a postseason loser for the rest of time.

[@jorgecalderon9674]

I love his attitude and his demeanor ... He seems like he fits with the Yankees brand. He's well spoken and articulate and seems focused and seems like he wants to a part of the lore of the Yanks and he sounds like he wants to make his name as a Yankee ... I think I'm going to like this dude

[@OroborusFMA]

He sounds so scared he's gonna crap his pants!

[@andrewtripi9818]

@@OroborusFMALOL idk what jorge talking abt that’s exactly what i heard i get it tho he sounded terrified 🤣

[@JackieDaytona1776]

The "Yankees Lore"? That's like moving to Rome, Italy and thinking of yourself as a Gladiator. Brian Cashman has spent 20 years hurting the "Yankees lore." Not a kid alive in the world today has ever seen them win once.

[@alperensengun6832]

45 and 54 are about to be the best 1-2 punch in the majors

[@SwiftRead]

Cole 45 to Fried 54 - perfecto 🎉

[@sidneyrossi6765]

A well spoken and mature young man. I’m glad he’s a Yankee.⚾️

[@stmart4097]

Really excited for him. Hes a work horse and competitor..he is a great fit in new york.. cant wait to see this rotation at work... now lets get 2 more bats..

[@NJSportsGirl2]

I like the way he carries himself. Seems like a good guy. Can’t wait to watch him this season. ❤ I have turned on a couple of Braves games in the past and I do like his stuff. He’s had some ups and downs but he works hard you can tell just by the way he approaches his outings. He actually speaks very intelligently also which I like. 😊😊

[@Topics-1236]

The Yankees are so back💪💪

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

We need to sign Profar from the Padres

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

U left soto but now we will go to the world series sorry I bought all your shirts soto thanks but I still love 💕 u

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

Judge will show all he's the Best followinghim is Stanton that's my man

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

💕💕💕💕💕 the Yankees forever when the world series ended I ran to the bathroom and threw up blood and wound up in the hospital on a feeding tube for 2months from my nerves I wish I could have been at one of those games I love all u Yankees ❤❤❤❤❤ forever and always my next tattoo are no.1 Yankees forever ❤❤❤ the whole team we will get them next time can't wait and don't want to go to the hospital again I have 8 grandkids and made them all Yankee fans I love you all good luck guys ❤❤❤susan Martell PJs NY

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

Can't forget Boone you're the best

[@vandaman981]

well spoken…. this man is him

[@PedroHernandez-wm5di]

He looks good wearing that jersey he liked it you go max welcome to the bronx

[@ltsgoyanks]

Max is a handsome dude

[@SavetheRepublic]

Love this move!

[@johnpestano22]

great addition a perfect number 2 behind Cole i like this move

[@michaelhill1708]

Losing Soto was a tough pill to swallow, but immediately getting Fried was a great start. Devin Williams and Bellinger are good picks too. So far so good

[@michaeljoyner6470]

Welcome to the New York Yankees - Max !

[@ryannewazada2102]

Welcome to the Yankees family Max Fried.🎉😊

[@JJ-iu6jp]

The way he speaks reminds me of Mike Mussina

[@BK-wp1jj]

He’s a thinking man pitcher like Mussina.

[@scottv9479]

Moooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssssse

[@sandman9705]

Woo hoo as a fan I’m very happy

[@Requinix17]

Congrats on the big contract Max! The rotation is really coming together now

[@josephrumpolo7328]

ONE OF THE BEST PITHERS IN BASEBALL PERIOD!!!!!

[@BK-wp1jj]

Greatest Jewish pitcher since Sandy Koufax his dad’s idol. Happy Hanukkah to the Fried family, merry Christmas and happy holidays to alll Yankee fans.

[@BroadswordNYC]

Wow, I didn't think of that, I wonder if the Yankees have ever had a jewish pitcher of his stature.

[@BB-rm3xi]

Cause there's been so many great Jewish pitchers to compare to lol.

[@BB-rm3xi]

@@BroadswordNYCno they haven't. Not a lot of well known Jewish pitchers in history.

[@luckybestwash]

you never heard of Max Scherzer apparently

[@BB-rm3xi]

@ max Scherzer isn't Jewish you clown. Maybe he sounds like it but he isn't.

[@FedericoCollado-vx4cc]

The best move❤

[@aaronjudgement5993]

Best signing since Cole to be honest! He is 100% a pitcher and know that the mATT blake is great!

[@BroadswordNYC]

Happy for the Yankees with this signing, but I still haven't recovered from losing Soto, I thought he was a perfect fit for The Bronx, and he was so, so entertaining to watch.

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

What’s worse the redsox signing Chapman or the Mets outbidding for Soto

[@Brawl-A-Saurus]

We can get santandar🗿

[@JackieDaytona1776]

​@@Frankieefootballmundiallol the Red Sox just guaranteed themselves at least 5 extra losses signing that loser. And the Mets saved the Yankees $760,000,000 by over bidding on Soto

[@SwagOnSwoosh]

Hurts my soul. Yankee hater but best of luck to Fried. He’s a good one.

[@pacificreefer4495]

Hurts my butt. There, fixed it for you

[@BroadswordNYC]

Hater? What is it that you hate? I mean, if you're a teenager, then ok, but assuming you're an adult, I don't know why someone would have hate for a team.

[@ltsgoyanks]

Finally... a press conference. Zoom is getting out of control.

[@danstahl3394]

Congrats Max! Loved you in the A. Yanks got a good one. Thank you for not going to LA.

[@rigonevarez6637]

Keep cooking, Cash and Steinberg! Welcome to the greatest franchise in baseball again we’re happy and lucky to have you. You bring another great demeanor to our team and championship pedigree. I can’t wait for season to start.

[@omniranger2240]

Man! Without that facial hair, Max looks almost 20 years younger and totally turns into a different person somehow XD

[@Dino._]

Let’s go 💯🙌🏼🙌🏼 Yankees #1

[@romeoramz]

Maannn Braves fan here🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ ima miss him good luck Max😭😭

[@theearl1477]

BATS!!! We need more hitters. Walker, Bellinger and Santander can all help us. Throw in Carlos Santana too.

[@jimmyz2098]

Naah. Do it right. Forget the 35-39 Year Olds... and get us one more big-time bat... no older than 31 ish. We've been down this road 50 times....

[@bpark0906]

Hopefully, he will be as successful as a former number 54, Richard “Goose” Gossage.

[@trotskysghost2024]

mister personality max fried. jk hope this guy has a great career. don’t know his pitching that well but numbers don’t lie. very very excited about this rotation. thanks to the steinbrenner family cash and boone for making this investment in the club. can’t wait til opening day!!

[@TaintedStaff]

My hero Max!

[@vdoggydogg3922]

What has he done that is so heroic?

[@bassbookie]

Guy is a true Yankee ❤

[@brandonmedal7436]

He looks really good as a ya kee , shaved the stache and goatee and became Mr gq he pitches well he’ll have a great career her

[@blacknosugar17]

Reminiscent of Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling with Cole and Fried

[@JackieDaytona1776]

Lol I hope so

[@AnthonyDRLopez]

Sounds classy and humble btw

[@georgino1986]

Can’t wait

[@johns.7501]

Has that Jimmy Key vibe.

[@victororihuela7701]

Looks good in pins and clean shaven. "its a honor to be here" "Being a baseball fan you know what it means and you "just know" the stander". That why as yankee fans we are okay with Soto going to, what team did he go to?

[@austinciliberto8210]

@@KevinRuiz-o2q It does. They're stacking infinity stones with the money they saved

[@CompWin7Helper]

I’m glad Soto went to the Mets lmaoo now cashman can build a real team. Mets #2 starter is CLAY HOLMES 😂 and their # is MONTASSS😂

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

Go Yankees I cant afford to get sick again ❤❤❤love u all

[@OdalisSpignolio]

Cashman excellent trades,,,,,,no stopping still get a big bat like Anothony Santander . Make this lineup lethal.......go yanks

[@angelivancruz9008]

[@bxbigshot1809]

Umm who is Devin Williams?

[@AnthonyDRLopez]

Welcome the bro MAX to the Bronx

[@AL__EX]

dumb question.... why does everyone keep emphasizing "longest contract given to a left-handed pitcher"? like, why does that matter? do LHPs have a shorter career span or something?

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

Perfect 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@ekeg_]

good offseason from cashman so far

[@ericpantalone5229]

Zillo always sounds like he's giving a eulogy, not kicking off something to celebrate....

[@BroadswordNYC]

I met him in person once at one of the Deli's near the stadium, he was very friendly.

[@drrandycokewave683]

This guy looks like DJ Lemahieu talking, just a few words and that’s it 🎉

[@Rafael_123abc]

Can Max win 15 in 2025 ?

[@BroadswordNYC]

He didn't wait 'til spring training to get rid of the facial hair, he wants to show he's a yankee now! But then again, if they gave me a $218 mil contract, I'd do whatever they ask, lol.

[@BroadswordNYC]

He comes off very articulate, classy, elegant, well spoken, and seems ready to report to Pitchers and Catchers even now! He seemed very moved and almost emotional, when he mentioned the 3 words he saw on the wall in the clubhouse- 'prepare, compete, win' -that says a lot about the man. looking forward to next season.

[@trotskysghost2024]

can we do something about boonies receding hairline?? maybe a really ironic toupee?

[@BroadswordNYC]

Lol!

[@austinciliberto8210]

Gotta have some better questions than that. Bro had to repeat himself 4 times

[@gregmadera]

45 n the 54 🙌🏾

[@victororihuela7701]

"Mitigate" there's a 765M word. End of story!!

[@SavetheRepublic]

Can we get a petition to let these guys grow facial hair. Its past due. Let these guys play and have some self expression. The fact is the hair rule was Big Georges NOT a Yankee one.

[@SusanMartell-m6x]

Go Yankees I cant afford to get sick again ❤❤❤love u all😊😊😊😊go ahead and get them we have a Good team for 2025❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@BlackSabbath10019]

I would take Fried + Williams + Bellinger any day over just Juan Soto.

[@SoleMax23]

When these guys clean up to join the Yankees they look unrecognizable…🥴👍🏽👊🏽. Welcome to the Boogie Down Max!

[@OroborusFMA]

I will like this because it's from YES and not some grifter downloading broadcasts and adding a car video game or someone hand cutting veggies in the back of some eatery to the end of the clip.

[@Anthony-B21]

Off topic but how does Dominguez not get 1 AB in the playoffs????

[@BroadswordNYC]

'Off topic' is right! How do you come up with that now, lol! But I had no problem with that; I believe in running out the same guys in the World Series that got you there in the first place. The Dodgers outplayed the Yankees, and that was without a healthy Ohtani! Even if they didn't have that error-laden 5th inning, they still wouldn't have been able to pull it off.

[@Holycigars]

Just need the facial hair

[@charleslarry2607]

Max is there to beat the dodgers nothing else

[@haroof]

Fried is a career 3-4 with an ERA of 3.18 against the Dodgers. He was 0-2 against that vaunted Dodgers lineup last season. I like my Dodgers’ chances.

[@JTMoney22]

Man he sure doesn’t sound very excited.. Talk about a bore to listen to. Sure hope that doesn’t translate to his performance on the field. Corbin Burnes to mewas the better choice. He is a bulldog with less injury history

Should have given up Gil to get Tucker. Fans will be very disappointed at the lack of run support for this guy.

[@jbjab99]

Gil is an ace. Yankees were smart not to trade him. Tucker is good but replaceable. Cody Bellinger and Tucker are similar. Finding a pitcher like Gil is near impossible.

Yankees will sign Tucker next year for only money.

rather cop Murakami

I agree

[@Jay_nicola]
