The Yankees are open for business with money to spend, pivoting from their pursuit of Juan Soto to land Max Fried on Tuesday evening on an eight-year, $218 million contract, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The team has not confirmed the agreement.

The pact, which is pending a physical, would be the largest ever issued to a left-handed pitcher and the fourth-largest deal of any pitcher, behind the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani (10 years, $700 million) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12 years, $325 million) and Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (nine years, $324 million).

Fried’s deal will include a full no-trade clause and no deferred money, per Feinsand.

I hope this works out, I pulled two of his rookie autographs from Topps Gallery back in 2018

Still have 542 million to spend just to reach what they were offering Soto. This was a good start though.

Will miss seeing him pitch in Atlanta.
