Max Fried expressed his surprise at the New York Yankees' interest during free agency, but acknowledged the franchise's storied history and the high standards it represents.
"There are three words that were put up on the wall: Prepare, compete, and win. To me, as a competitor, it really resonated with me," Fried stated, expressing his commitment.
Fried, who signed an historic eight-year contract, is expected to bolster the Yankees' rotation and help end their 15-year World Series drought.
Boasting a remarkable 2.81 ERA over the past five years, Fried believes playing alongside elite pitchers like Gerrit Cole will enhance his performance.
