Rumored Red Sox target Max Fried joins Yankees on massive deal: Report originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Another day, another rumored Boston Red Sox free agent target off the board.
Left-handed ace Max Fried and the New York Yankees have agreed on an eight-year contract worth $218 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. It is the largest guaranteed deal for a left-handed pitcher in MLB history.
Boston had been linked to Fried in recent weeks. The former Atlanta Braves southpaw joins the Red Sox' archrival one day after they lost the Juan Soto sweepstakes to the New York Mets.
