When Juan Soto made the surprising move from the New York Yankees to the New York Mets, it sent shockwaves through the baseball world. This unexpected change forced Yankees’ GM Brian Cashman to quickly pivot and adjust their offseason strategy. The result? A strategic signing of former Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million deal. This move not only strengthened the Yankees’ rotation but also allowed them to address other areas of need on the team.
In response to the Yankees’ big move, the Boston Red Sox made their own splash by acquiring Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet in a trade, showcasing the intense rivalry between these two historic teams.
