It was quite the lucrative offseason for pitcher Max Fried.
The southpaw agreed to an eight-year, $218 million deal with the New York Yankees, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post provided the contract details Tuesday. Notably, it features a signing bonus of $20 million and a full no-trade clause:
While Fried is slated to make $29 million a year for the final six seasons of the contract, the number is significantly lower at $12 million for 2025 and 2026. That gives the Yankees a bit more financial flexibility, which is notable since they also added Devin Williams and, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Cody Bellinger this offseason.
