Yankees: CC Sabathia torches Clint Frazier after ill-advised exit

Once upon a time, New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier was expected to be the next big thing. Frazier was an up-and-coming prospect with a lightning-fast bat, presenting surprising power and solid athleticism. However, Frazier dealt with concussions symptoms and vision issues throughout his tenure in pinstripes, playing in a career-high 69 games back in 2019.

This past season with the Yankees, Frazier played in just 66 games, earning a .186 average, .317 slugging percentage, and a measly five homers and 15 RBIs.

General manager Brian Cashman made the tough decision to cut ties with Frazier after years of trying to rely on him as reserve and starting level player.
