MLB insider claims Max Fried's 8-year $218,000,000 deal benefits 2021 AL Cy Young winner
This offseason, free-agent starting pitchers will be in high demand. Blake Snell and Max Fried have signed lucrative contracts, and none will be more happy than fellow free agent Corbin Burnes, who's waiting to sign something similar or better.
Snell was the first big splash this offseason, and, of course, the Dodgers signed him to a five-year, $182 million contract. On Monday, another notable ace, Fried, agreed an eight-year, $218 million contract, with the New York Yankees.
Snell, a two time Cy Young winner and Fried, a former Cy Young finalist, both got great deals.Thus, Burnes (also a Cy Young awardee) couldn't be more happy with how everything is unfolding, according to MLB analyst Matt Snyder.
