NEW YORK — The Yankees took a break from making any big trades or signings Wednesday to introduce one of their latest big name acquisitions – left-handed starting pitcher Max Fried.
He will be sporting number 54.
Fried finalizes $218 million, eight-year contract
Fried thought about the dog days when asked how he'll spend his fortune.
No, not those hot, humid summer afternoons but rather time with Apollo, his 3-year-old mutt.
"I think the first thing that kind of popped into my mind was probably just like getting my dog a bunch of dog food," Fried said Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, a day after finalizing a $218 million, eight-year contract that is the richest for a left-handed pitcher.
