Yankees and Padres Matchup illuminate how Front Office fried the right call

In recent years there have been many times in which Brian Cashman and the New York Yankees on the wrong side of the most important decisions for the start pitcher service plan were on the wrong side.

Lefty Carlos Rodón plays well now, but before this season he did not do justice to the lucrative contract he signed before the 2023 campaign.

A year ago it was Marcus powerful that the Yankees brought with him to support Ace Gerrit Cole before he also missed the opportunity to cement himself as a first -class arm.

On Wednesday evening in the Yankee Stadium, New York will compete with the San Diego Padres competition, in which a pitching matchup can be seen between a pitcher that the team in the low season and another they could have followed.

New Yanke Ace Max Fried will face the team, which he designed with the number 7 of the overall winner in 2012, and the right-handed ace Dylan will end the rubber for the other side on the rubber.

There was a lot of speculation and intrigue about what Cashman could do to strengthen the pitching staff to compensate for the loss of the superstar outfield Juan Soto.

Many fans and experts speculated that the accumulation fits very well behind Cole and that New York uses the history of the cyung awards with a further combination of flaming.

Instead, they signed a record contract for a total of $ 218 million, which has ever been switched off in a left-handed pitcher in MLB history.

If Cashman was chosen between the two options at any time, the early returns indicate that he has certainly chosen the right way.

Fried is 6-0 with an ERA of 1.01 to start his career as a Yankee, and he effortlessly took home American League pitcher of the month.

On the other hand, Cease started the season with San Diego to start the season. After the native Georgia had released a 3.7 ERA in 33 starts a year ago, he made a 5.61 ERA in his first seven starts in 2025.

It allows a career high of 10.4 goals per nine innings and is more likely than every season since 2021 batters.

New York has such a lack of high prospects that every trade that the Padres would have even considered as an exchange for ceasefire would have left the club's farm system completely sterile, and Cashman was able to roar without trading to do this to exceed several other teams for the services of the ACE.

We will see whether Fried can beat ceas on Wednesday and keep his hot strips up to date, but Yankee fans can be sure that Cashman made the right call.
