As Todd Frazier deposited ball after ball into the seats at Great American Ball Park during the 2015 Home Run Derby in Cincinnati, White Sox general manager Rick Hahn looked on from his vantage point in the stadium and got the sinking feeling the third baseman he coveted in a trade wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.
A few weeks earlier, Hahn had opened a dialogue with Reds President Walt Jocketty and GM Dick Williams about acquiring Frazier, the potential anchor the Sox had been lacking at third since Joe Crede patrolled the position.
But then Frazier put on a show for the hometown fans with 39 homers to capture the derby title and effectively end any trade discussions.
