Yankees check in on top-of-the-market starters — including Mets target
NY Post
The Yankees checked on the free-agent ace pitchers — Max Fried, Corbin Burnes and Blake Snell — but it remains uncertain whether they would do Soto and an ace pitcher, too.
The Yankees also are interested in Sean Manaea, who will turn down the $21.05M qualifying offer from the Mets.
The Mets are interested in keeping both Manaea and Luis Severino, and met on both pitchers. Severino doesn’t seem too likely to accept the qualifying offer, either.
The Orioles, Red Sox and Blue Jays are all in on at least Fried. Boston is looking to upgrade its pitching and they don’t have a lefty, so Fried could make sense.
The Yankees checked in on Anthony Santander as well as Pete Alonso, but they are believed to be strictly backup plans in case Soto bolts.
Santander has interest from eight teams following his big season.
