The New York Yankees recently handed out the biggest MLB contract to a lefty pitcher in Max Fried. The 30-year-old was signed by the reigning American League pennant winners to an eight-year, $218 million deal—the fourth richest ever given to a pitcher.

In a recent episode of the "Foul Territory" podcast hosted by Eric Kratz, insider Robert Murray discussed how he felt that Fried's contract was an overpay compared to that of Corbin Burnes and Blake Snell.

"I do think the Yankees ended up overpaying for Max Fried," Murray said (8:17).
