Frasor To Accept Arb Or Sign Multiyear Deal

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | November 30, 2010 at 4:33pm CDT

Jason Frasor is discussing potential contracts with three teams and may sign a multiyear deal tonight. But if he doesn't sign a multi-year contract by tonight at midnight EDT, the Type A free agent will accept the Blue Jays' offer of arbitration, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

If a team other than Toronto signs Frasor tonight, they'll surrender a top pick in the 2011 draft. The Blue Jays would obtain that draft choice and a supplementary first round pick for losing Frasor to another club. Frasor posted a 3.68 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 after a slow start last year, so he'd be a welcome addition to just about any big league bullpen. But Type A status figures to limit for Frasor, Frank Francisco and Grant Balfour to an extent.

    My guess is that he’s leaning towards accepting arbitration, and having his agent make a last second push to see if he can secure a multi-year dear before doing so. If he was getting surrounded by multi-year deals, he wouldn’t be considering accepting arbitration.

      I can see the yankees maybe giving him a 2 year 5.5-6.5 million dollar deal..

      We’ll end up getting a 4th round pick out of it since they will sign 3 other higher ranked FA’s.

    signing relievers off the FA Market has always been kind of a crap shoot anyway

    I know he’s been connected to the Twins in the past, but please tell me Smith wouldn’t give up a first rounder to sign him… there will be better options at better prices as the offseason wears on. Just say no, Twins.

    never in a million years would i have thought frasor would be in contract negotiations considering hes a type A free agent. who in their right mind would surrender their first round pick to us for him? hes good but not better then a first rounder. for the sake of the jays and their farm, i hope he signs elsewhere

    This doesn’t make any sense. Any team that signs him would have to give up a pick whether they sign him now, tomorrow, or in three months. He and his agent clearly aren’t mlbtr readers as they do not seem to understand how arbitration works.

      yeah but frasors deadline to accept arb is today, so he has to make a decision to sign today, wait for any better offers, or accept arb. of all the type a’s he is most in limbo of being hurt because of the type a rating.

      A team with a protected pick can sign him like Arizona who can use the bullpen help. I believe they already have 2 high picks and may not have enough money to sign 2nd/3rd rounders and he would help their bullpen.

      Boston has 2 1st rounders so I can see them being in play as well. It seems they are likely to go after a big name player like Crawford, Werth and would push the pick to 2nd rounder.

        My point is that the amount of interest he garners will be no different tonight than it would be at any other point this off-season. If teams are willing to offer him multi-year deals right now, they will be willing to if he declines arbitration, as either way the draft pick is surrendered.

          And if nobody is willing to offer a multi-year deal right now, there’s a decent chance that nobody will later on in the offseason either. So, taking arbitration while he has the chance seems like a pretty reasonable approach by Frasor and his agent.

    If I had three teams interested in me on a multiyear deal I wouldn’t be thinking about arbitration. No need to make stuff up Frasor, we all knew you’d be coming back, lets just be honest.

    Or maybe a team with a protected pick can sign him without surrendering a first rounder, but a second rounder none the less. Either case … just get the signing done!

    A team that makes sense is the Tigers, since they already signed V-Mart. Their pick is already going to the BoSox, and will only have to surrender a 2nd. That’s if their shopping stops at these two, but since they are linked to others it might end up being even less. For the Jays, a supplement pick and even a 3rd rounder is a solid return for Frasor.

      It should be noted that if he accepts, there is nothing from the Jays moving him in a trade and sign deal. It would allow teams to negotiate a deal that wouldn’t hurt as much as losing the 1st rounder.

    Just a heads up, if the team you cheer for signs him, you’ll have time to run out to buy a 24 of Canadian, a pack of cigarettes and shovel the walkway between pitches.

        I just realised in my Canadian-ism that Frasor would be pitching in the summer, so exclude shoveling the walkway and put something more summer practical, such as mowing the lawn.

    works well for the Jays if they lose Frasor(A), and can possibly pick up Putz(B), for roughly the same dollars.

    He’ll be a Jay in ’11 (’11, Wow oldness sets in), welcome back.

    He will be better next season, increase his stock, and then be included in a trade…the rest is cloudy…

    Now that Frasor accepted, what do you think he’ll get?
    His 2010 salary is 2.9million.

    If Frasor gets to arb, he’ll get near 4million, somewhere along 3.8million most likely

    How does this offer sound?
    2year 7.5million (3.5MM 2011, 4MM 2012) + club option 4.3MM/500K buyout
