The New York Yankees acquired several talented veterans after superstar outfielder Juan Soto walked in free agency this past offseason, with southpaw pitcher Max Fried (12-4, 2.62 ERA) chief among them. They signed the latter player to an eight-year, $218 million contract, and he's given them their money's worth thus far.

NEW YORK — The Yankees weren’t just buying and buying on Thursday’s trade-deadline day. After trading for two relievers, general manager Brian Cashman dealt reserve infielder Oswald Peraza to the Los Angeles Angels a few minutes before the 6 p.m., ET deadline, Jack Curry of YES Network first reported.
