Notes
	After eight years in Atlanta, Max Fried arrived in New York and did what the Yankees were hoping he would do. In 195 1/3 innings pitched, Fried ended with a 2.86 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 189 batters, the most in any season of his career. While his xERA was higher at 3.40, his FIP (3.07) and xFIP (3.41) suggest the 32-year-old has plenty left in the tank in 2026. Of his 32 starts, 20 of them qualified as quality, making him more valuable in leagues with that category. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
