Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Just saw sox fans talking about this on Twitter. Well use this as a Frazier thread for any rumors surrounding him. What do you think you'd want in return from the Mets?

And when Wright comes back next year (doesn't however long that'll be), Frazier can be their 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find a solid source so I didn't want to post any. Just use the search on Twitter and you'll find them. Ironic because when I rebuilt the sox on MLB the show, I traded Frazier to the Mets.

FT35 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't it be kind of sweet to somehow tap into their SPs? Like Frazier + $ for Wheeler--who has battled injury, but has 3 more years of team control and already has his Tommy John surgery out of the way!? Then if we flip Q or Sale, we could land a young controllable 3B (Bregman?) and still have a good young SP to plug into the rotation to help fill the loss from loosing Sale or Q. They probably wouldn't do it now that Harvey is out, but Wheeler is still #6 on the depth chart. Seems the Mets are desperate for offense (sound familiar?), but have already recently traded one of their young SPs (Neise) for a quality position vet (Walker).

Dunt Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Id take any of their top 3 prospects or maybe Dilson Herrera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Not sure what kind of players they could pick off their major league squad since the link mentioned they don't want to part with top prospects. As for prospects, I'd take a Dominic Smith, Amed Rosario+ package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Nimmo/Wheeler is too far off but if it is the Sox could offer a reliever (Duke?) with Frazier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxJon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'd love to dump Frazier for a nice return but NYM is a bad trading partner for us. I'd love to get young pitching for Todd but NYM really has none to deal. Cecchini/Herrera and Nimmo have my interest. Nimmo could replace Melky when we deal him and Cecchini or Herrera can help solidify 2B for the long term with Lawrie either dealt in the offseason or moved to 3B (Not against an infield of Abreu, Herrera, Lawrie, Anderson).

GreenSox Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Frazier isn't going to get a gargantuan contract (at least I don't think he is). He has power. His D is pretty bad, but the Sox could do better at rotating players around, especially in the DH spot. I might hang on to him and move him next year. Depending on how the rebuild goes and how he looks, perhaps even extend him. If they can get a legitimate prospect for him, then move him. But not so sure that happens.

ChiSoxJon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Plawecki, Nimmo, and Herrera would be a nice return and somewhat realistic in this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't take that .210 AVG in the 4 hole, aside from what I believe is solid D and elite power, best Sox 3B since Crede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I would consider offering Frazier an extension if he is interested. He's better than our usual 3B disasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His D hasn't impressed me and certainly nowhere near Crede. I think they'll keep him if for no other reason there are a several available hitters that are better than Frazier.

Quin Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Could also look to the Giants. They have Conor Gillaspie manning the hot corner currently, with Duffy out to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF they decided to compete next year and held onto Frazier, you'd have to go: Eaton RF/CF Anderson SS Cabrera LF (if not traded) Abreu 1B Outfield bat for RF or CF (Reddick?) Frazier 3B Morneau DH (try to re-sign to a 1 year deal?) Lawrie 2B (if they keep him) Catcher spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think the offense is bad now ? Yikes ! Agreed. I think it's more likely that the Sox sign Frazier to a contract extension than trade him. Especially with Jose not slugging like he was a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
