Report: Reds willing to trade everyone, including Todd Frazier
Coming off their worst season in more than 30 years, the Cincinnati Reds are apparently open to completely blowing up their roster.
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Reds have made everyone on their team available via trade, and that includes third baseman Todd Frazier. On Monday, FOX Sports Insider Ken Rosenthal first reported the Reds have agreed to a deal to trade closer Aroldis Chapman to the Dodgers.
Frazier, who has been an All-Star the past two seasons, is arguably Cincinnati’s best player. He probably would bring good value in a trade, especially considering he is just 29 and has played 150 or more games in each of the past three seasons. Heyman also noted that the Reds and Diamondbacks discussed a possible Brandon Phillips trade at one point, but it appears those talks have cooled. Right fielder Jay Bruce has also garnered some interest, though he has a no-trade clause that can block a move to eight teams.
