This Max, who's younger that Scherzer, will turn 31 in January. He's been pretty durable. His 2023 season was abbreviated by a forearm injury, so he only pitched 77.2 innings, but he had 165.2 in 2019, 56 in the 60-game 2020 season, and 165.2, 185.1, and 174.1, respectively, in 2021, 2022, and 2024.
FanGraphs projects he would get a contract of five-years and between $125 and $140 million.

Re: Let's talk about Max Fried
I think Fried should definitely be on the Mets list of potential staring pitchers to add to the rotation.
When did the choices get so hard
With so much more at stake
Life gets mighty precious
When there's less of it to waste

Re: Let's talk about Max Fried
I think $25M per year is as much value as you can get from him, although Cohen might not care. And that's assuming things don't go pear-shaped at some point, which is always a risky bet for a pitcher. I wouldn't go above 4 and 90, and if that's not good enough I'm OK with shopping for value on the pitching side of things.

Re: Let's talk about Max Fried
MLB trade rumors estimates him at 6 years, $156M.
Very good pitcher when healthy but has had forearm issues the past two years. So you want to make sure on those medicals
Skinny guy. I feel like they generally don’t hold up as well.

I need a nap, but I keep re-reading the headline of this thread and seeing, "Let's talk about Mass Fraud."

You are confusing this with the election threads. The country just elected a mass fraud.

Re: Let's talk about Max Fried
MLB Trade Rumos predicts this contract at 6 years, $156M ($26M/year). None of the writers predicted he'd sign with the Mets.
He'll be 31 at the start of the 2025 season. Like I mentioned before, he's skinny and has had forearm issues.
I can see the Burnes market going to a level where Stearns is not comfortable. Snell is a year older, and doesn't pitch deep into games. So if I had to guess, I would say Fried is the guy we're most likely to get of the top 3.
