Why the Yankees think there is an even better pitcher lurking inside Max Fried

The introduction of a player who signed the richest contract ever bestowed upon a lefty pitcher at times sounded more like the introduction of a fallen former top prospect. Or maybe a journeyman capable of more.  Not long after the Yankees took a flier on Luke Weaver, pitching coach Matt Blake praised his   with a few pitches the club thought it could tweak. with Deivi Garcia,  Nate Thurmond Jersey the Yankees called the former phenom too rotational in his delivery and believed that simplifying his rotation would be the key to unlocking his potential. in Enyel De Los Santos last season, Aaron Boone cited some hopeful little tweaks here and there that allow a guy to move the needle and get a little bit better.  The Yankees, like every major league team, aim to take marginal major league pitchers, twist a few knobs in pitch shape or pitch usage or arm slot or windup or seemingly any other factor, and yield a productive pitcher. They take someone elses trash (or their own) and oftentimes succe sfully pull off a bit of alchemy. Such tweaks make sense for Weaver, a former first-round pick who had not yet tasted much major league succe s; for Garcia, who had risen to become one of the best prospects in baseball before falling; for De Los Santos, who is a journeyman from whom the Yankees thought they could extract more.  It is le s common that such meat on the bone is cited during the introduction of a two-time All-Star signed to an eight-year, $218 million contract.  Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey
