COLE FOR FRAZIER? COME ON, MAN!

I love Red Thunder, but there has been sprinklings and rumblings of talk involving he in trades.  Even when the Stanton stuff was going on, there was a brief time that Clint Frazier's name was attached to those trade talks.  Nothing happened then, and many of us were relieved, but now his name is popping up again, from a very reliable writer... George King III of the New York Post.

"According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the Yankees and Pirates are discussing a deal that would bring right-hander Gerrit Cole from Pittsburgh and possibly would include outfielder Clint Frazier leaving The Bronx."

Now Cole is good, but I would hate to give up Frazier.  Here's the thing though, and I've expressed this before. While we love Frazier, much like we loved Rob Refsnyder, he may not have a role on this team... at least right now. We have Stanton, Judge, Hicks, Gardner and Ellsbury.  You see what I mean?

We shall see what comes out of this trade rumor. It is quite interesting.
