NEW YORK -- Max Fried may have commanded the richest contract for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, but the New York Yankees believe there is room for improvement for the two-time All-Star.
"He's had a lot of success, but there's a level of improvability going forward, just with how the arsenal can be crafted and pulled apart, and there's some room to evolve with us," Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said Wednesday. "We like that."
Fried was formally introduced at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday after agreeing to an eight-year, $218 million deal last week.
