The New York Yankees have made a significant move by signing left-handed starter Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million contract during the Winter Meetings. This comes as the team seeks to enhance their run prevention strategy after losing star outfielder Juan Soto.

In addition to Fried, the Yankees are eyeing third baseman Alex Bregman, who has been a standout player for the Houston Astros. Bregman’s addition could provide a much-needed offensive boost, especially as the Yankees explore options for outfielders like Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger.
