Yankees ‘sign $218m superstar in record-breaking deal… just days after Juan Soto joined rivals Mets
The New York Yankees reportedly agreed to acquire left-handed pitcher Max Fried from the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday afternoon.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the agreement to an eight-year deal worth $218million. The deal holds the largest guarantee for a left-hander in baseball history.
A physical is pending for Fried as the reigning American League champions look to complete the transaction.
The 30-year-old wrapped up his eighth season with Atlanta, where he won a World Series title in 2021.
The Braves have not made it past the National League Divisional Series in the years that followed.
Aside from his title, Fried brings two All-Star selections, three All-MLB honors, and three Golden Glove Awards to the Bronx. So far in his career, Fried has a 73-36 record, 3.07 ERA, and 863 strikeouts.
