Yankees left-hander Max Fried looked like an ace against the Red Sox in his spring start on Tuesday, facing the team he nearly signed with in free agency.

On Tuesday, Fried said he “definitely considered” the Red Sox after meeting with them via Zoom, but chalked up his decision to sign with the Yankees to a “gut feeling that I felt like this was the right place for me.” Of course, the money didn’t hurt either.

Fresh off his first start against the Red Sox since joining the Yankees, Max Fried didn’t make much of his introduction to a storied rivalry.

No other streaming service had prioritized history in that way — but all good things must come to an end, and so, too, has the era of classic Looney Tunes on Max.

Max has dropped the original Warner Bros. cartoons from its lineup, which our TV critic says leaves us with the pastiche and is similar to removing books from a library.

The Toronto Blue Jays could be in trouble if Max Scherzer isn’t available for the first few weeks of the regular season. And now, with his latest admission about his thumb issue, things could look even more concerning.
