Although the Los Angeles Dodgers were linked to then-Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier last winter, the club passed on the opportunity to acquire the two-time All-Star. Frazier instead went to the Chicago White Sox in a three-team trade that sent Micah Johnson, Frankie Montas and Trayce Thompson to the Dodgers.
President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman explained the Dodgers were more than comfortable with Justin Turner at third base despite his coming off microfracture knee surgery. Friedman added there was consideration given to playing Frazier at a position other than third base.
But there’s some uncertainty pertaining to Turner’s future with the Dodgers as the soon-to-be-32-year-old is a free agent.
