The New York Yankees’ recent acquisition of slugger Giancarlo Stanton has led many to believe that young outfielder Clint Frazier could be a trade chip to help bolster the club elsewhere. The Oakland A’s have been in the hunt for a right-handed hitter, and according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, could have interest in the 23 year-old Frazier. However, there are many reasons to believe that Frazier would not be a great fit for Oakland.
High acquisition cost
Frazier won’t come cheap. Formerly a consensus top 50 prospect, his 39 MLB games of slightly below average production isn’t going to lower his value much.
