He's not the first nor the last. And he got that deal because of his hitting AND his pitching.

I’m not arguing his talent. I’m saying history shows his arm doesn’t have the durability that’s needed from a starting pitcher. Opener, closer, setup man? Sure, I suppose. Starter? I couldn’t do it.

I mean, they still have another 450+ million to spend with 7 more years, do more Yankee front office, you're letting your people down!!!

That's a lot to pay for a guy that is only gonna play in 30 games a season

Fried sucks now. But good luck Yanks. Terrible signing imo.

I'm saying they can sign more players with that extra 450 they still have from the Soto offer. C'mon fam, let's keep up.

All I know is the Braves are better off losing him.

Yankees desperate or something? I really don’t get this. It definitely won’t shore up the rotation.

He’s not the first to have multiple surges on his arm. They are paying him for both. But I get it.

Why am I not surprised this is your take

Fried couldn’t do anything with Braves bats behind him for the last couple seasons. He’s gonna have a tall task with the yanks. That’s your team but it’s okay to admit he ain’t it. Especially at that price.

Essential posted this in the Yankees thread but it goes to show your actual takes

he's a top 15 starting pitcher in the league.

Since 2021...
Cole is 2nd in WPA. Fried is 4th



Fangraphs ERA- stat... Max is 3rd behind Woodruff and Ohtani since 2021.

FIP- he's tied with Cole
