You may have heard that the Yankees made a pretty big acquisition today. As such, with the addition of Giancarlo Stanton to what should now be an insanely powerful lineup, the Yankees now have some expendable pieces on their squad. The most expendable of those pieces is Clint Frazier, who now finds himself on the outside looking in.

So naturally, New York is going to try to move Frazier and according to Dave Williams of Barstool Sports, the Braves are one of the teams who are interested in acquiring the 23-year-old outfielder.

#Mets, Giants and #Braves all have already asked on the Yankees Clint Frazier, obvious odd man out in the Yankees OF, nothing imminent yet but he’s as good as gone #ScoopCity — whitesoxdave (@barstoolWSD) December 9, 2017

Williams also added that the Yankees are asking for a starting pitcher and “two lower prospects” in any potential deal. If this is true, then you have to imagine that the Braves would probably be the favorites to land Frazier if they indeed want him. Atlanta still has a loaded farm system so they can definitely deliver on the “lower prospects” part of the deal.

Additionally, the Braves are starting to turn some of their pitching prospects into starters and when you consider the depth that the Braves have when it comes to pitching, then they could also be able to deliver the starter as well. Again, if the Braves want Frazier then they have the assets to get him.

The only question would be whether or not Frazier would be worth picking up via trade. Frazier burst onto the scene after being called up to the big league squad due to the Yankees suffering through injury woes during the dog days of 2017, but he slowed down considerably once the rest of the league began to figure him out and injuries hit him as well. He finished 2017 with a line of .231/.268/.448 with 82 wRC+ and four home runs over 39 games played. That’s definitely not the type of stat line that will get you salivating, but he’s still a rookie and he still showed glimpses at the major league level that explained why there was so much excitement with him as a prospect.

Still, I’m of the belief that it would be a mistake if the Braves went all-in for Frazier in a potential trade. This wouldn’t be the type of player that you move Julio Teheran and his team-friendly contract for, but if the new GM can find a way to drive that price down a little bit (and it’ll probably go down naturally as interest fluctuates) then this could be an intriguing move.
