Clint Frazier Fires Off Goofy Tweet to Remind Yankees He's Still Around After Trade Deadline
By Adam Weinrib
In case Yankee fans were bummed about their deadline inaction, there may be a bit of offensive help waiting in the wings beneath the madness.
With Luke Voit out for an extended period of time with a sports hernia, the team is in need of some pop from the DH spot.
Enter...Clint Frazier? Though there's some service time manipulation involved in the decision to keep him down in the minors, he knows he could help the team right now, and wanted to remind folks that he's ready to step up after surviving the trade deadline and remaining within the organization.
Door's open!
Frazier's a fairly simple solution to an internal issue the Yankees are having right about now. Have him continue working on the side while he infuses the offense with his trademark panache.
He was heavily rumored with a move out of the Bronx, but nothing materialized prior to the 4:00 p.m. deadline.
Now he's waiting for his chance to make an impact, and this tweet shows just how eager he is to climb back to the bigs.
