DALLAS — At best, the Yankees reached agreement with a modern Jimmy Key in Max Fried — an athletic, imperturbable, championship-proven lefty.
At worst, the Yankees just agreed to an eight-year, $218 million pact with a pitcher who missed time the past two years with forearm issues, which often is a precursor to elbow issues and …
At the moment, the Yankees are revealing their post-Juan Soto hand — that there is no way to replace his offense, so they are going to try to have a fierce rotation and improve their defense.
Just like that, another starting pitcher is off the market.
Right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has agreed to a deal with to return to the Rangers, FanSided's Robert Murray reported.
He's agreed to a three-year, $75 million deal, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported.
Eovaldi, 34, is a two-time All-Star and pitched to a 3.80 ERA with Texas last season.
The Athletic previously reported the Mets had interest.
Both the Yankees and Mets are "in the mix" for relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga, The Post's Jon Heyman reported.
There is not, however, anything imminent expected on a potential deal.
He's been limited to just 20 appearances over the last two years, dealing with elbow inflammation in 2023 and needing UCL surgery this past season.
Loaisiga, who has spent his entire career with the Yankees, has a 3.28 ERA out of the bullpen across 181 1/3 innings
The Mets, in need of more arms to shore up their starting rotation, were not among those vying for Max Fried, according to Newsday's Tim Healey.
Fried agreed to an eight-year deal with the Yankees on Tuesday.
The Amazin's are also not expected to be on the other big-name hurler on the market, right-hander Corbin Burnes.
Alex Bregman is one of the top infielders on the market this offseason, and both the Yankees and Red Sox are among the teams reportedly vying for his services.
MassLive reported Tuesday that the Red Sox, Yankees, Astros and Tigers have the best bids for the third baseman.
However, according to the outlet, the Red Sox front office is not fully in agreement on Bregman, with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow among those who are less gung-ho on him.
Bregman, 30, hit .260 with 26 homers over 145 games for the Astros last season.
The Yankees landed Max Fried on Tuesday, and they beat out their archrival for the prized lefty.
The Post's Joel Sherman reports that the Red Sox and Rangers made late pushes for Fried, but to no avail.
Fried instead has agreed to an eight-year, $218 million contract to go to The Bronx.
The Nationals haven't made a splash in free agency, but they did secure a big win Tuesday.
They won the MLB Draft lottery, meaning they'll pick first in next year's draft.
The top five are as follows:
The White Sox, who finished with a modern record of 121 losses, were ineligible for the top pick because they are a payer into baseball's revenue-sharing system and were picked in the lottery last year.
They will instead be picking 10th.
The Guardians and Blue Jays are making a swap.
The team are finalizing a deal that would send Andres Gimenez to Toronto, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, right-hander Nick Sandlin is also headed to Toronto while infielder Spencer Horwitz is going back to Cleveland.
Gimenez, 26, is a three-time Gold Glove winner and one-time All-Star who came to the Guardians in the 2021 blockbuster trade that sent Francisco Lindor to the Mets.
He's hit .261/.322/.393 in five big league seasons.
The Yankees are making a splash in free agency to bolster their rotation.
Two days after missing out on Juan Soto, the Yankees have landed left-handed starter Max Fried on an eight-year, $218 million contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported Tuesday evening.
It’s reportedly the largest deal ever for a left-handed pitcher, and the fourth-largest for a hurler all-time.
Clay Holmes left the Yankees and signed a three-year deal with the Mets that comes with an opt out after the second year.
The Post's Jon Heyman breaks down the contract:
