When Juan Soto decided to take his talents from the Bronx to Queens and join the New York Mets, it forced Brian Cashman to reevaluate his offseason plans. With many wondering where the New York Yankees would go post-Soto, we got our first glimpse late Tuesday.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about Cashman and crew signing former Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried to an eight-year contract worth $218 million. By strengthening the rotation, the Yankees are now looking to spread the wealth that would be used primarily on Soto and bolster other needs of the team. However, following this move, the Boston Red Sox counter-punched by acquiring Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet in a trade on Wednesday.
