Come on now. They did not overpay Max Fried and Max Fried's signing was not related to Soto walking. The Yankees needed a starter with or without Soto, just like they need a first baseman.

A reminder that the Red Sox gave Aroldis Chapman 10.75 million to not even close out games.

8 years and $200 million to a 30-year old pitcher? I can't believe that will work out well. Also, it's left handed hitting that they need, not more starters...

I'm not going to defend that Chapman signing either...but at least it's only one year.

Nathan Eovaldi is 5 years older than Fried and will make 25 million a year for the next three years.

It is not overpaying in this market. If you want to sign a starter, that is the price.

Were they bidding against anyone else?

Were there other teams who wanted to sign a 30 year old lefty coming off an All Star season? Why wouldn't there be?

Kikuchi signed a three year deal for 63 million all because he pitched 60 good innings for the Astros last year after pitching 115 bad ones with Toronto.

Whether or not Fried is good for the next 8 years doesn't really come into play when you're talking about what the market is for a starter. You will pay near his price to sign even mediocre pitchers who are older than him.

I'm not even sure you watch baseball after these last few comments but I urge you to do so this season.

I watch more baseball than I care to admit! I saw Max Fried pitch several times in person this past year. He's very good. I still think they Yankees overpaid for him. And I think Eovaldi is overpaid too.

Speaking of their need for left handed hitting...

They just resolved that problem.

As others have said, Soto's departure is a blessing for the Yankees.

Hard to believe that Soto left the Yankees just because Mets offered him a suite for his family and the Yankees didn't
