Todd Frazier – 3B, Cincinnati Reds
Frazier once seemed destined to be the next face of the Cincinnati Reds, but now finds himself a candidate to be traded this offseason. Frazier will be 30 before the 2016 season starts, and has two years of control left. And with the third base market completely barren this winter, the Reds will likely receive more than their fair share of calls on the charismatic slugger.
The Rangers reportedly checked in on Frazier with the Reds, and pursued him with the intent of playing him in the outfield. If moving off of first base is something Frazier is willing to consider, that would open his market up to teams pursuing corner outfield and first base help. As third base, Frazier makes sense as a fit for the Angels, Astros, Red Sox (if they can move Pablo Sandoval) and Indians, though the Rangers, Orioles, Mariners, Marlins and Pirates could also have interest if Frazier is also marketed as a potential first baseman or corner outfielder.
