The Yankees signed Fried to an eight-year, $218 million contract, marking the largest guarantee in baseball history for a left-handed pitcher. This deal represents a significant setback for the Red Sox, who had identified him as a primary target this offseason, especially after missing out on Juan Soto.
Fried’s excellence is underscored by his performance in the last few seasons, achieving an impressive ERA of 2.81 since 2020. This makes him the leading pitcher in that span, emphasizing why both the Yankees and the Red Sox chased after him rigorously.
