also appendages it’s screen time with our insiders Pete thel Jeff pass and Sham chirania all standing by but we want to start with Baseball Jeff and you because you got breaking news right off the back fors tonight what is it I do Ellen it’s a big contract for the New York Yankees a couple days after losing Juan sto they have agreed to an 8-year $218 million contract with left-hander Max freed a two-time All-Star with the Atlanta Braves has been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the last half decade a command and control expert and he’s going to add to a Yankees rotation that is already deep and already a strength the Yankees have a lot of moves to make this off season and after not getting one stto despite a $760 million bid they turn around and give Max free $218 million it is the largest guarantee ever for a left-handed pitcher beating David Price is $217 million it’s also with an eight-year deal one of the longest contracts ever for a starting pitcher Max Reed is 30 years old and he has been at the top of his game and pairing with Garrett Cole at the top of the Yankees rotation is going to make for a very formidable du in the Bronx next season and well beyond yeah certainly as a Braves fan I’m not happy 29 starts for Max last year there have been some durability concerns but you mentioned it a 3.07 ER with 863 K over eight seasons with the Braves he’s been fantastic and he will be Miss Jeff passon will miss you too on Sports Center more our breaking news this hour Jeff passon reporting that left-hander Max freed and the Yankees are in agreement on an 8-year $218 million contract freed was one of the top free agent pitchers on the market after a really solid season with the Braves oh yeah and a title and you see why at the numbers he’s been really a symbol for consistency in his career fourth best ER since 2017 among pitchers with 150 starts only Kershaw Scherzer and Verlander are better last season a 325 it was 15th in MLB it was actually his worst in over five seasons all right Breaking News Major League Baseball the Washington Nationals have won the MLB draft lottery just the third time that they’re going to pick number one overall first time since they took Steven strawber and Bryce Harper in the 09 and 2010 drafts this year’s draft will start on July 13 in Atlanta as part of allstar game festivities and that is not all days after losing Juan SoDo the cross toown Mets the Yankees have responded they signed left-handed pitcher Max freed eight years 218 million largest guaranteed contract for a left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball history who’s Max free well two-time All-Star he has two top five saw young finishes he’s 30 so this deal will run through his age 38 season and you would expect he slots in right behind Garett Cole has the number two starting pitcher in Pinstripes all right let me get my guy in GBS Baseball Insider Matt Snider jumping board all right there’s a lot to think about here right I mean you got the stto angle you got to respond I look at I go eight years for Wow largest deal for guaranteed money for a left-handed pitcher but the aav isn’t crazy I mean you see this and you’re reading this what’s your first sort of impression that you’re going to translate this signing I think it’s a very good one you knew they had to Pivot from stto but I I the next thing I do is I look at that infield and I say Fred is very heavy on the ground balls one of the best ground ball pitchers in the majors with his seven pitch Arsenal he’s heavy on that Sinker he keeps the ball down in the zone he pitches the contact so the Yankees do need to and they were already going to do this but they do need to shore up the infield defense I don’t know if you want to leave Jazz Chism at third base uh maybe they’ll go out and sign a third baseman maybe they’ll trade for one we’ve heard Nan nado’s name out on the trading block maybe they’d go out and make a move there uh second base gaver Torres departed in free agency but look it’s going to be very important to put a good defensive infield behind a guy like freed and if they do he is a stud and he’s going to be worth well well worth every penny here it’s just a matter of going out and getting a good infield defense behind them to field those ground balls and again the Yankees needed to do that anyway because when everything unraveled for them in the World Series it was their infield defense in that five run inning for the Dodgers all right who’s happy today and who sees this deal and goes oh like like I’m not saying winners and losers but you know whether it’s these guys a you know this agent this free agent you know who’s happy that they see this and who goes oh no carbin Burns is happy right now you know he’s arguably a better pitcher than Max freed he is a righty there’s more right-handed hitters than left-handed hitters he has a little bit more of a Workhorse ability he has a lot more Innings pitched over the last several years years than Max freed so if you’re Corbin Burns and you were already thinking seven years 20000 million now you see the eight for over 200 now as your Burns you’re and his agent you’re going oh hey we might get nine we might even get 10 we might get up to 250 million so I think Burns is sitting pretty loser may be Red Sox right now because they were in The woto Sweep Stakes to the end with the Yankees and the Mets they lost out on stto they went to Pivot to Freed and there were reports that they were right in to the end on freed and they lose out to the Yankees so maybe the Red Sox but that might also be temporary maybe the Red Sox go out and bull over carbon carbon Burns now and it’s a good match there but for right now the Red Sox yeah and uh I do think we all knew pretty much that Fred was going to be leaving the Braves but I do think that their rotation is pretty thin right now behind Chris S we’ll see how it looks with Spencer Strider once he comes back from his injury that cost him almost all of last season we’ll see how schwellenbach holds up but I do feel like the Braves rotation is a little thin right now all right I I say to you take a piece of paper and a pen start at one and write down the best pitchers in the American League starting pitchers you know you get Garrett Cole you know you write whoever how many names are you writing down before you write down Max freed approximately to give him a little context of how good he is in the American League for maybe American League fans that don’t you know they’ve heard the name they know he’s a brave they know he’s good but where is he if Burns signs in the American League I think four if he doesn’t I think three you’ve got Terk scoel who I believe is going to be the best pitcher in the American League again next year and I’m still going to go back to the Garrett colewell a full season of Health there with Cole I will rank him above Burns and Fred but I don’t have anybody else above e anybody above Fred so it’s he’s either three or four depending on where Burns signs all right so the Yankees are going to try to do it with starting pitcher because if you’re telling me they got two of the top three starters that are currently in the American League all right there we go so you know one 41 home runs gooss Town Cole yeah they didn’t even get a full season from Cole they got 29 starts from strowman 30 from Cortez they might not even be in the rotation next year it’s going to be starting pitching for the Yankees all right there you go excellent job great context Matt Snyder getting it done go read all the stuff on C [Music] do me what you want you tell me tell tell do me what you want [Music] you it’s me oh [Music] [Music] tell tell tell you tell me tell tell tell tell oh [Music]
