Dodgers Designate Carlos Frias For Assignment

By Steve Adams | January 25, 2017 at 12:11pm CDT

The Dodgers announced on Wednesday that they’ve designated right-hander Carlos Frias for assignment in order to clear a spot on the roster for newly acquired outfielder Brett Eibner. That trade has been formally announced by the Dodgers as well.

Frias, 27, was a significant part of the Dodgers’ bullpen in 2015, logging 77 2/3 innings with a 4.06 ERA and a strong 55.1 percent ground-ball rate. However, Frias’ strikeout and walks numbers (5.0 K/9, 3.0 BB/9) were both considerably less impressive, and he ultimately received just four innings with the Dodgers in 2016. The bulk of Frias’ 2016 innings came with Triple-A Oklahoma City and Double-A Tulsa, where he pitched to a 3.95ERA in 43 1/3 innings.

        As a Dodger fan who has watched a lot of Frias, his upside is in the bullpen. Mid 90s fastball with a good slider

        Yeah true, would have to DFA Quackenbush or Hessler to free up a spot on the 40 for Frias.

          Not sure if they are keen on it. The dodgers tried to trade him early this offseason but was nixed because of medicals. Now he was DFAd. One has to think medicals aren’t pretty.

          Well reports had the dodgers trying to trade Wood and Frias to the Mariners for pieces to flip in a Dozier deal.

          Where was this reported? Not trying to be a D, but I’ve been keeping track of all the trades this offseason and never heard that? I was just wondering, that way if I find out where you heard that I could have another source of info

          Why would they get Dozier if they already got Logan Forsythe?

          Sorry I meant they tried to tried to trade Frias and that was nixed. That was reported by Nosler. Chris Camello who has been pretty accurate, broke the Jansen and Turner news, reported the dodgers then backing out of a possible wood trade. Obviously take for a grain of salt. But it makes me wonder if maybe they were trying to extract Gohara to then flip.

          @em650r haha this was before they traded for Frosty. I’m guessing it was around the time the M’s traded for Smyly.

      He’d be worth the risk for the Pads. He could be a 10-12 kind of back-end starter. Nothing wrong with that, just about every team needs one.

    Hopefully he clears and we can stuff him in the minors and see if he can be deployed more effectively in our bullpen
