The New York Yankees have made a significant move by adding Max Fried to their already formidable pitching rotation, joining Gerrit Cole, who has led the league in ERA since 2019. This duo is shaping up to be one of the most dangerous one-two punches in baseball, especially as they head into the 2025 season.

But here's where the conversation gets interesting: with the Yankees missing out on Juan Soto, how do you think this impacts their overall strategy for the upcoming season? Are they now more focused on bolstering their pitching staff, or do you think they will still pursue big-name hitters to complement their rotation?

Moreover, with Cole and Fried both having impressive track records, can we expect them to stay healthy and perform at their peak? What are your thoughts on the importance of a strong pitching rotation in the postseason?

And let's not forget about the Mets' acquisition of Soto. How does this shift the balance of power in New York? Will the Yankees need to make further moves to keep up with their crosstown rivals?

Share your predictions, insights, and any experiences you have with following these teams. Do you think the Yankees are on the right path, or are they risking too much by focusing heavily on pitching? Let's hear your thoughts!
