clint frazier trade cleveland

Sure, Sheffield is in Seattle now, so the Indians can’t be made completely whole, but this one move could do a lot for the long-term health of the Indians offense for seasons to come.Not just that, with the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins looking at teams to potentially trade with, the Indians have to make sure they’re involved in the end-of-the-mid-season-arms-race in order to be able to fend off the surging AL Central.Frazier isn’t the best player to be had, but he’s the one with the best present and future value.

But now that path has a different destination. Yankees don’t have the prospects Cleveland would want in a Lindor trade.

Tribe deal top prospect, lefty, pair of right-handers for reliever Miller Clint Frazier is having a difficult time getting on the field, but it is not about performance.

"Thank you Yankees for this amazing opportunity," Frazier said on Twitter.

Since Frazier was acquired by the Yankees in 2016—part of the trade that sent reliever Andrew Miller to Cleveland—the former first-round pick has constantly been a part of Deadline talks. The Cleveland Indians need to make a move for offensive help and trading Mike Clevinger for the New York Yankees Clint Frazier just makes sense.

While Miller was a crucial part of the team’s run in 2016, it’s always disconcerting when a top tier starter prospect like Sheffield and a top of the line everyday prospect in Frazier get traded for a 30-something relief pitcher.This is the Indians’ rare opportunity to rectify that deal. Right now he is slashing .300/.364/.600 albeit in just nine games played.

Clint Frazier eventually will find a home free of swirling trade rumors and laden with ample playing time … right?.
