Take it away, Barry:
First the Red Sox lost out on Juan Soto, and now they’ve lost out on Max Fried, the pitcher who owns the lowest ERA in all of baseball since 2020. Fried signed with the Yankees on an 8 year, $218 million contract last night. The Red Sox did submit a bid for the lefty, and while we still don’t know what number they put out there, WEEI’s Rob Bradford reports that it was “significantly” worse than the Yankees’ offer.
So what’s next for the Sox?
