Earlier this month,\u00a0the New York Post’s Jon Heyman<\/a>\u00a0conveyed that the\u00a0New York Yankees<\/a>\u00a0are making their\u00a0interest in some of the best free agent<\/a>\u00a0aces apparent.<\/p>\n

“The Yankees checked on the free-agent ace pitchers \u2014 Max Fried, Corbin Burnes and Blake Snell \u2014 but it remains uncertain whether they would do Soto and an ace pitcher, too,” Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n

Snell has since signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but both Burnes and Fried are still available.<\/p>\n

However, these two superstar will be highly sought after by many teams. And in a November 29\u00a0article, Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly<\/a>\u00a0explained why he believed Fried would be a “perfect fit” for the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n

“The Orioles might not ultimately spend quite enough to retain Burnes, but they still need a top-of-the-rotation arm as they try to win a World Series during the Gunnar Henderson-Adley Rutschman Era,” Kelly wrote.<\/p>\n

“Max Fried would give the Baltimore Orioles an ace, adding to a rotation that includes Grayson Rodriguez and Zach Eflin.<\/p>\n
