Rangers To Sign Todd Frazier

By George Miller | January 12, 2020 at 1:40pm CDT

The Rangers have reached an agreement with free-agent third baseman Todd Frazier, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports that it’s a one-year, $5MM guarantee that includes a club option for a second year. Frazier will collect a $3.5MM salary in 2020 with a $5.75MM option for 2021 that comes with a $1.5MM buyout, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The deal is pending a physical.

Todd Frazier | Edit via MLBTR's Zach Gardner

Frazier, who will turn 34 in February, just wrapped up his second season with the Mets, authoring a nice bounce-back after a rough 2018. He posted a .251/.329/.443 slash line with 21 homers in 499 plate appearances. He’s been sapped of some of the power that made him a fan favorite in Cincinnati, but he has remained a roughly league-average hitter that also provides passable defense at third base. That’s enough to make him attractive to a Texas team that didn’t get great production from the position last year.

The numbers Frazier posted last year were in line with his career marks, making his dismal 2018 season look more like an outlier. If that’s true, and the Rangers get a version of Frazier that performs closer to his 2019 levels, it will be hard for Texas to be upset with such a low-cost signing that fills a clear need. Nick Solak looked to be the best in-house candidate to claim the position, though the Rangers may prefer to deploy him in a utility infield role.

Texas has been variously connected to all of the offseason’s big names at third base, including top free agents Anthony Rendon, now with the division rival Angels, and Josh Donaldson. The latter has yet to sign, but the Rangers are said to have backed off in their pursuit as he eyes a four-year deal. Most recently, they’ve been connected to Rockies star Nolan Arenado, though there’s skepticism that a deal will get completed. To be sure, Frazier doesn’t offer the same star power as the aforementioned trio, but he represents an adequate stopgap and insurance should they go 0-for-3 in their pursuit of the big fish.

Moreover, the addition of Frazier, who can also play first base, presumably doesn’t necessarily preclude the Rangers from continuing their pursuit of a top-flight option at the hot corner. Indeed, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports that Texas will not cease in attempting to acquire Arenado even after signing Frazier. Should their play for Arenado come to fruition, Frazier would likely slide into a timeshare with Ronald Guzman at first base. And should the Rangers miss out on Arenado and Donaldson, then Frazier is penciled in as a short-term solution, with top prospect Josh Jung waiting on the horizon.

To this point, the Rangers have allocated most of their offseason resources to upgrades on the pitching side, adding Corey Kluber, Kyle Gibson, and Jordan Lyles to the projected starting rotation. That has left some work to be done on the position player side of things, with third base getting the most buzz. But the Rangers have some interest in free-agent slugger Nicholas Castellanos, though interestingly they like Castellanos only as a potential first base upgrade—not as an outfielder. On the other hand, Marcell Ozuna might still be in play for the outfield, which currently features Joey Gallo, Danny Santana, and Willie Calhoun.

          2.2 war player for 5 mill that has decent offense, wrc of 106 little better than league average, and decent defense? That has a lot of value at that price.

          His offense should pick up playing in Texas.

          As a Cardinal fan that is a good pickup for the Rangers. His bat might of slowed some but I believe he can 25 homers and drive in about 70-80 RBI’s and play good defense. I think the Rangers will also get Castellanos and Arenado before the Cardinals will. Can’t wait to see the Rangers new ballpark.

          Not necessarily. Did u even read the article? Nobody in need of 3b is entirely out on Donaldson. The teams that “dropped out”, dropped out at his asking price of 4/110. But nobody’s giving him that or her have already signed. When he drops asking price to something more realistic some teams will re-engage

          Boras doesn’t want Chappy to sign any contract until he is a free agent. He has turned down all of the A’s offers of signing a long term deal. Boras know that Chappy will get north of $250 million when he becomes a Free agent. He has 4 years left before becoming a free agent.

          Boras doesn’t want any of his clients that are half-decent signing a long-term deal.

          He always gets them more when they play out their option. And those that do sign an extension with their current team wind up getting a sweetheart deal which include an opt-op.

          Boras’ influence is such that I don’t understand why every single bonafide ML player doesn’t go free agent.

        I would also agree that this is probably a 1B move and fallback to 3B based on other moves.

        Regardless, 1B or 3B, is an upgrade over last season.

        Frazier has played just 32 innings at 1B the last 2 years. Between that, the fact that reports are that the Rangers aren’t likely to sign JD, and that 3B is a bigger hole than 1B even is, you should probably expect that this move is for 3B.

    A hint of this story was posted a week or two ago. I made the comment that fans must be upset to see the team go from Rendon to Donaldson to Arenado (and Bryant?) to Frazier. Somebody slammed me for suggesting that was the case, because the Rangers were still supposedly going after Donaldson and Arenado (and Bryant?). Didn’t seem to pass the straight-face test to me and, well, here we are. Actually, I like Frazier, it’s just that he’s far from those other guys, which should be pretty disappointing for fans who thought 3B was going to be a franchise acquisition for opening the new stadium.

      not a disappointing signing at all. the overpays for Rendon, and soon to be overpay for Donaldson is not what this team needs. they have a top prospect at 3B and in 2 years we may have our hot corner solid. this team is not a Rendon, or Bryant or one guy away from legit ws contenders so why dump the barely built farm trading for those guys. also paying the price of Donaldson is what got us in the situation we are in with some dead weight contracts. Even with the rotation and some improvements, we need to see if we compete for a wild card before making splashy signings like Rendon. plus, I still don’t see how any of those huge 8 to 10 year signings have ever worked out for the team in the long run.

          Rangers were, after all, better (4 games from .500) than the Angels (10 games behind .500) last year. Didn’t stop the Angels from signing Rendon.

          Also, since the taxpayers are paying for the stadium, ownership owes them some bona fide acquisitions.

          Last, if Rendon was signed 100 to 1 you’re as ecstatic as any Angels fan.

          Not trying to flame here but i just don’t find this to be a particularly nuanced take. I mean Moreno is a billionaire, does that Pujols overpay not affect their pursuit of a top flight pitcher? The reality is that what teams pay their players has an impact on the overall health of a team, and that is just reality even if you don’t want it to be. Also this childish “why do people support billionaires” argument is ridiculous. I support anyone making sound arguments, The idea that someone should be disregarded because they have a bunch of money is ignorant.

          10 of the 30 owners on the list were not billionaires.

          Start there,

          Then add that taxpayers funding public sports venues is absurd for a few reasons:

          1, Most people paying the taxes don’t go to the park or even follow sports (this is a reason bundled cable packages are losing customers in droves now that people have a choice – the highest fees are given to sports channels that most people don;t watch).

          2. Every study I’m aware of shows that the tax breaks and revenues to fund parks are not remotely made up. The majority of the jobs created in the area are part-time minimum wage jobs, and the parks are used less then 1/2’rd of the year even allowing for concerts and the like.

          “Then eliminate the luxury tax and have no cap in baseball. Then you’ll see the players get more in free agency. Until then we’re more of a supporter of billionaires than we realize.”
          _

          Without total revenue sharing, you do that and it will guarantee that at least half the teams will be nothing but development franchises for the large market franchises. They will not possibly be able to pay large market salaries to veteran star and quality players. Ultimately their fans will realize that there is no reason to support their local MLB franchise, as that team will never be able to afford the number of quality players it takes to win.

          Sure – the elite players will get even more. But most of the players will get less. No person or financial group stays in business paying employees more revenue then they take in.

          And forget arbitration. It’s tough enough now for half the franchises in MLB to pay salaries that are set by the large market teams. If those salaries are set even higher by an arbitrator after being driven by the large market teams, you’ll see most franchises non-tendering the majority of their players. Then the complaint will be that those guys have to sign for less money when they’re forced into a real market.
          _

          It seems to me that the competition in sports should be between the teams and the players on those teams. Not how much players get paid and fans supporting the poor players against the team owners.

          But I guess I’m asleep since 1995. I even know what a cut-off man is.

When Harper left I didn’t see any tears shed and most of the fans were glad to see him go. I think now many GMs might be rethinking the value of a clubhouse where everyone gets along.

          Vandals I am aware of the ramifications of no limit payrolls. Just letting people know to stop complaining over billionaires because it’s not about them; it’s about the MLB system, playing within the guidelines and not paying penalties if you can. That is why people use the term “overpay”.

          I’m not here to defend the rich owners who keep their payroll low or refuse to go all out with their contending franchise. So long as there are parameters within the league there will be times when teams take a pass on players to sign a Todd Frazier type.

        8-10 yr contracts are bad deals unless your the Yankees who have endless $$$$$ — problem with owners is they are rich because they pass the cost on to the fans — as prices go up and up on everything we will continue to see less and less fans at games —

          Economics says that in everything there is a saturation level and a price point that consumers will no longer pay.

          Right now, MLB is leveraged to the hilt. Expansion is being discussed because so many franchises need their share of the influx of money they’ll get from new franchises. This is just cannibalization of their product – which is so watered down now that teams have to call up pitchers 3-4 times a week during the season from the AAA and AA teams. That’s because there isn’t much difference between the minor leaguers and the majority of pitchers on the 25 man roster, so getting fresher arms up is thje priority.

          Truth be told – most fans have no idea who’s on their team week to week during the season. Sit in the stands and listen to the conversations.

          If the public didn’t pay for professional sports teams parks, the franchises would have less revenue and consequently the players would be paid less.

          I don’t know why the economic illiterate demagogues on here keep stating that owners profit by every revenue stream and the players get nothing.

          America had huge improvements in the average persons salary the last 2 years. In both cases they were for over 3% but less then 4%. Yet look at average percentage increases professional athletes are getting. Far, far more then the average American worker.

A small fraction of them can play at the MLB level. Hard work and sacrifice got them to that level. That’s why they get paid.

    @ Oregonian – I agree 100% that Donaldson has overplayed his hand. Two of his strongest suitors in Texas & Washington have all but bowed out of the race and by him not wanting to sign in Minn, who is left? If the stories are true, Atlanta has only offered around $80M for 4 years of his services and he wants $110M. His options are drying up fast (reminds me of the JD Martinez market a couple of years ago) and he’s either going to have to settle for Atlanta’s 4/80 offer or possibly bet on himself again with a short term, high annual value contract. I like JD but he and/or his agent have overvalued his services as a 34 year old free agent. He’d better swallow his pride soon and sign a deal or he’ll end up like Moose did a couple of years ago…a one year deal at 30% of his true value.

      JD is a great 3B. These teams can’t pivot amd get anyone else of his caliber— for nothing but money. Bryant will cost an arm and a leg in prospects. Arenado will cost as well if he’s truly available. Looks like Donaldson is still in the drivers seat to me.

        Uh no. If no team wants him at the price he’s asking, he’s not in the driver seat. He’ll either adjust his asking price or he’ll sit out half a season waiting for an injury like Keuchel did.

        If Donaldson was in the drivers seat, someone would’ve balked by now and offered him a big deal.

          I don’t get this idea that Donaldson has overplayed his hand. Not one of his suitors has made a move where they’re not pulling that guy off the field to add a former MVP. These teams are just lining up fallback options. If someone deals for Bryant or (inexplicably) Arenado before Donaldson inks, I’ll start to see where he’s lost leverage.

      If no more corner infield additions I could see Frazier platooning with Guzman at 1b and with Solak at 3b. Guzman is an excellent defensive 1b and his hitting against righties, especially when he came from AAA was pretty good. If the goal is to get Solak 400+ abs, playing semi regularly at 3b against lefties is a good place to start. Of course, if they sign yet another CI all of this is probably off.

          Guzman put up a .790 OPS against lefties last year. In an admittedly very small sample size, after returning from the minors that was .926. If there is a solution against lefties, Guzman at 1b isn’t a bad thing.

    What about a trade for Nolan/Bryant where rangers send odor ( they add money to send for his contract cause no ones going to want to pay him that much for hitting like cheeks), and prospects? Keep Solak at 2nd, Nolan at 3rd, Elvis at short, and Frazier at 1st.

      Rangers aren’t going to “give away the store” to acquire Arenado or Bryant. Rangers have just about made their farm system respectable again. Don’t see them tearing it down to get one “marquee” player. Daniels was ridiculed for it once, doesn’t want to go through that again.

        You mean after 3 years of working 24/7/365 with scouts, development people, lawyers negotiating with agents, minor league affiliates, etc., and investing millions of dollars – that the Rangers don’t want to give up all the produced players with 6 years of control for one player…….that will very probably leave in 2 years?

      If all else fails. Why not sign Mitch Moreland to play first base. Sure he barely has a bat but has pretty good defense. He wouldn’t be a big dent in the payroll either. What do y’all think?

    A lot of sarcasm surrounding this signing but Todd Frazier is a savvy vet that can play both infield corners and provides some right handed pop to the Rangers lineup. He’ll probably bat behind Gallo or maybe a little lower in the order like 6th or 7th. Good clubhouse presence as well. Wouldnt have minded the Phillies signing him as a stop gap to Bohm which wouldve allowed Kingery to bounce around and get additional reps in CF. If Frazier can hit around .250 again instead of the .220 range he batted in 2017 and 2018 and contribute 25 dingers, this will be a steal for Texas.

    They really missed out on the elite (or even good) 3B market. I’m sorry, I’ve never been a fan of Todd. I could never wrap my head around the hype. He’s terrible, he’s pretty always been terrible…. why does he still have a job in the mlb. He should have had his bags packed years ago for Japan or Korea or whatever… cause American baseball isn’t his thing.

        Although your # is most definitely rounded up, it’s statistics like this that make me question the entire WAR metrics all together. He’s had 2 solid year in his entire career, and 1 horrid year That he managed to hit like 40 bombs. He’s terrible… i don’t generally use BA as a worth of most guys value, but when you only have roughly 2 years above .230…. you’re not good.

          To put it in meaningful perspective, though, over the past 3 years Frazier’s WAR is 5.9. Below 2.0/yr. Not “terrible,” but not the 2.9 career rate you cited, which is weighted by good years several years ago, including 4.0 in 2015, and 5.2 in 2014. He’s 33 now, not likely to be achieving those levels. In fact, he’s not likely to achieve 2.9… He’s more likely to hit 1.9.

    This is like the deal I commonly offer free agents in OOTP. Backload with a club option to get close to their demand, then just decline the option. Bonus if you add an opt out before the option so you don’t have to pay the buy out occasionally.

    I think Rangers fans that wanted to sign players like Rendon and Donaldson or trade for Arenado need to just take a step back for a little while.

    In 2 years, the AL West is going to be much different but right now, the 4 best prospects the Rangers have aren’t even in AA yet. Let your young talent develop. Why do you want to sign Donaldson so bad? Is sacrificing your future worth winning something around 85 games?

    I know the Rangers FO really stoked the flames with this but the fans have an opportunity to express a more level head than leadership and just let the prospects develop while taking the high draft picks.

      The Rangers are simply not in striking distance of an AL West title – not with the Astros and A’s in front of them, and the Angels closing on 3rd place. I look for the ALW to possibly be the best MLB division in 2020. The Rangers are not in the position of say the A’s – that adding one impact position players player makes them the division favorite. They need at least 3 quality position players (CF, 3B or 1B, C) added to what they have – along with a young starter and at least 2 more quality bullpen pitchers.

      I’m looking for Realmuto to head for free agency after 2020. Dallas is the ideal place for him to sign (he’s been dragging his feet signing an extension with the Phillies since they acquired him). Couple that with some young prospects coming up, and the Rangers have something going.

    Ian Desmond can play third and was a Rangers fav. Rockies would love to unload him and likely eat half his salary. Will Myers can be had cheaply and a move back to first would be to his liking, for health and production. If I’m GM, I make this happen:

    Texas opted for the cheaper option and that makes sense. They aren’t sure if they are ready to win. They are a tweener team. Frazier could very well be a good signing. Texas could be 4th yet could very well make the postseason next year.

    Donaldson has stubbornly overplayed his hand this year. He isn’t getting to the $110M mark. Potential landing spots are dropping away because he is being so unreasonable. He’ll be lucky to gat $90M now.. if I were the Braves, I’d take my offer off the table, if it was 4 years, and come back with a fair market offer of 3/$75 for that old man. They don’t have any real rivals, The Nats and Rangers have gone to plan B and signed others already, and no one seems to want to play for MN unless the Twins do an overpay, which they are not willing to do. This is another example of players and their agents trying to force the market to unrealistic levels. Players and their agents caused the problems we saw the last two years and now Donaldson is repeating the same mistake.

    Half of the starts last year were by pitchers with era near 6 or worse. Calhoun and Gallo each played only half or less of the games. Catcher, first, and third were dreadful. Rangers still finished 3rd with 76 wins.

    If the team stays reasonably healthy then the starting pitching improvements alone will make above 500. Catcher is now much better. Third is better. A full season of Gallo and Calhoun is better.

    If Castellanos can be signed for first(real possible) or a trade for Arenado pulled off(less likely but sexier) this team can compete for a playoff spot

    This move means the Rangers have 1 more big move to make, and that is Castellanos. If we sign Castellanos (who would play first), then Fraizer moves to 3rd full time, and Guzman becomes expendable. Maybe we then package Guzman in a deal for a reliever, like say Reyes Moronta or Sam Tuivailala. After all is said and done here is our finished lineup.

    Choo
    Andrus
    Castellanos
    Calhoun
    Gallo
    Santana
    Odor / Solak (hopefully Solak)
    Fraizer
    Chirinos

        True, but i’d still like to see them get somebody to get reliable innings. Not an elite arm like Hader, but maybe trade for somebody, or stick Guzman in AAA and sign Cory Gearrin. I love Gearrin, he is a lowkey stud, he was so good on the Rangers a few years ago.
