  • Heads22 changed the title to Sox Acquire Caleb Frare from NYY for Intl Pool Money

New York will now say goodbye to Frare, whom it selected in the 11th round of the 2012 draft. The 25-year-old did not rank among the Yankees’ top 30 prospects at MLB.com prior to the trade, though he did dominate at the Double-A level this season. Frare recently earned a promotion to Triple-A Scranton, where he only threw one inning, after opening 2018 with a .62 ERA/2.24 FIP and 11.75 K/9 against 3.09 BB/9 across 43 2/3 Double-A frames. Earlier this season, Frare’s manager at Trenton, Jay Bell, told Randy Miller of NJ.com that “he’s starting to figure it out,” thanks in part to a fastball that sits in the 93-94 mph range.

Looks like he has some killer stats as a closer in AA, but he is also 25, so IDK. This seems like a weird trade especially because he is another guy that will have to be on the 40 man, is a bullpen piece at best, and it seems like a lot of the international slot compared to what we got for it last year.

Tommy John in 2012.  Missed 13 and 14 seasons.  Improved command this year.  I found mid 90's fastball, good slider, and flashes a change up.  Previously lefties gave him trouble and now excelling vs them.  On July 6 lefties hitting .182 and righties .179    Said to be able to go multiple innings.  Guess AAA to start.  September call up if doing well?

They really need to move Avilan and Cedeno now....although they'd probably move them for more rule 5 guys and they could also just leave them unprotected anyway.  But they will expose some interesting players.  The unprotected Jake Peter has yielded 2 players.

The Yankees drafted Frare in the 11th round of the 2012 draft, and the now 23-year is entering his final season before he is eligible for the Rule-5 draft.  After not playing in 2011 he made his professional debut in 2012 with the Gulf Coast League Yankees where in 10 games, two starts, he was 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 23 innings pitched.  But the injury bug bit he missed the 2013 and 2014 season due to undergoing Tommy John surgery and being hit by a car.

He made his way back from injury and moved full-time to the bullpen and earned a 6-3 record with a 2.91 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings over 37 games for both the Charleston RiverDogs and the Tampa Yankees.  Frare returned to Tampa for the 2016 season and earned a 3-3 record with a microscopic 0.92 ERA in 49 innings over 32 games, striking out 52 and limiting hitters to just a .198 batting average.  His success earned him a promotion to Trenton for the playoffs where he pitched just 1/3 of an inning and striking out the lone batter he faced.  He will have the chance to show what he can do out of the bullpen this year for the Trenton Thunder.

Yeah this guy should be in majors this year. It’s not like we won’t have a difficult rule 5 decision too. If he looks bad, easier to pass him through, if he looks great, protect him.

Honestly if he is going on the 40 this fall, you might as well think about him now if we trade Avilan in the next few days.
