But once the Yankees learned that Soto was taking the Mets’ 15-year, $765 milli
on offer on Sunday, Cashman quickly pivoted, not wanting to lose another player
of extreme interest.
在确定留不下Soto后，现金人很快的把目标放在其他选手上
He let Max Fried’s camp know that the lefty was the Yankee priority. There woul
d, for example, be no offer for Corbin Burnes until the Yankees knew for sure if
they could secure Fried or not.
他告诉Max Fried阵营，Fried是他们的优先选项
也就是在Fried还没签之前，他们不会开合约给Corbin Burnes
Fried’s market included the Angels and Giants as dark horses, but the four main
contenders were the Yankees, Blue Jays, Rangers and Red Sox. Those four teams h
eld Zooms with Fried last week between Tuesday and Thursday.
Fried的竞争球队
洋基
蓝鸟
红袜
游骑兵
天使
巨人
其中前四只是主要竞争者
在周二到周四这段时间都有和Fried阵营用Zooms会面
The Yankees went on Tuesday and had nine members of the organization on the tele
conference — more than double anyone else.
洋基在周二和Fried阵营开会
并派出九位球团人士参加，人数是其他球队的两倍以上
It included Cashman, Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake. But also special
advisor Omar Minaya, who had history with Fried. Minaya had been a senior VP of
baseball operations with the Padres, when Fried was drafted seventh overall by
the Padres in 2012.
其中包含现金人、Boone、投教Matt Blake
以及和Fried有渊源的特别顾问Omar Minaya
Minaya曾任教士棒球事务部副总裁，任内在选秀中选了Fried
When the process began, Fried did not view the Yankees as his top choice, but th
e Zoom presentation began to change his thinking.
一开始洋基并没有被Fried当作是他头号选择
但在会面完后，他就开始改变心意了
The Fried camp told all of those involved that Fried wanted to have an agreement
by no later than Wednesday of this week. And negotiations intensified once Soto
was off the board.
Fried阵营也通知各队
他们想在美国时间周三前决定下家
The Blue Jays never made an offer
最终蓝鸟没报价
The Red Sox were at seven years at $190 million with a willingness to perhaps go
up, but also a plan to include deferrals. T
The Rangers, though, became huge contenders. They had begun the process not beli
eving that they would be able to reach the financial stratosphere where Fried wa
s heading. But after its Zoom meeting, Texas officials decided to stretch.
The Rangers offered seven years at $190 million. But without a state tax, the va
lue of that contract was going to force the Yankees to do much better.
红袜 7y/190M(愿意再更高、但希望部份延迟付款）
条子 7y/190M
条子原本觉得没希望，但在和Fried开过一次会后
决定下去追
In a post-Soto world in which they wanted to begin to get on the board and move
forward, the Yankees were aggressive, again reiterating just how much Fried was
their priority.
They were at eight years at $210 million — Fried wanting the eighth season. The
Fried camp let the Yankees know that if they went to $218 million — $1 million
more than David Price’s record for a lefty starter (a seven-year deal signed i
n 2015) — that there would be no more shopping; that the Yankees would get Frie
d.
洋基一开始开8y/210M(Fried想要八年约）
然后Fried阵营告诉洋基
如果加码到218M，也就是打破David Price的217M左投最大约纪录
那他们会直接答应签约
Cashman reconnected with Hal Steinbrenner for authorization and received approva
l to move forward.
现金人就去联络老板Hal Steinbrenner
然后获得老板绿灯
The deal, which was pending a physical that was tentatively scheduled for Thursd
ay with then a press conference probably on Friday, would include a $20 million
signing bonus paid in two $10 million installments, one immediately and one next
year.
Fried will receive $12 million in 2025 and 2026, and then $29 million annually o
ver the final six seasons.
