Todd Frazier
If Todd Frazier came to the Red Sox he would provide two things: a lot of power and minimal contact skills.
His 13 home runs and 37 RBI are certainly attractive to potential buyers. However, his .210 average and 24 percent strikeout rate aren’t.
His weak contact-hitting numbers won’t deter teams from looking into him, though, as Frazier is still a fantastic power bat and reliable glove at the hot corner.
The 31-year-old Frazier will be a big target at this year’s deadline, as he is on a sinking White Sox team.
The Red Sox are indeed interested in him, too, as Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reported that the team has scouted him.
More importantly, he is a free agent after the year and is owed a reasonable $12 million for the 2017 season, according to Spotrac.
The Red Sox wouldn’t have to move a blue-chip prospect in return for Frazier, but one major league piece and two lower level prospects would do.
