This is cool:
Tarik Skubal said he recently got a call from Yankees starter Max Fried.
"He asked me if I wanted to start (the ASG)."
Skubal deferred to Fried, especially since Fried had pitched for eight seasons in Atlanta. But Fried was insistent: "I think you deserve it. I was just wondering if you wanted to start it.”
Skubal acknowledged that he did. A day later, he got a call from Aaron Boone.
"It was actually a really cool conversation (with Fried). It’s a very professional thing to do, and I've got a ton of respect for guys that do stuff like that."
