Todd Frazier has a thumbs-down approach to this winter’s Cold Stove free agency. He is going to make the best of a frozen market.
Frazier, who has blasted more home runs (67) over the past two years than Evan Longoria (56) and one fewer than Kris Bryant, doesn’t know where he will wind up, but wherever the free agent lands, Frazier promised Monday he will be the best he ever has been over his seven-year major league career.
Sure, the Little League legend from Toms River, N.J., would love to return to the Yankees, a team he helped get within one game of the World Series, or stay close to home with the Mets, who have a desperate need for a healthy third baseman who also can play first base, but Frazier continues to talk to multiple teams and understands the reality of the game.
