Clint Frazier Posts Cryptic Instagram Photo After Being Left Out of Triple-A Lineup

The MLB trade deadline is less than a week away, and everybody in the baseball world is on high alert as to the status of top prospects and key trade pieces that could be used in blockbuster moves.
Specifically, Yankees fans have their eyes on Clint Frazier, who shared a cryptic post to his Instagram, on the same day that he was held out of the lineup in Triple-A.
The post, which is the iconic picture of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston, has no caption. It could just be coincidence, but Frazier has been known to use his social media pages for more than just fun.
And if that wasn't enough to stir the pot, the young outfielder also reportedly posted a photo from the famous "Down goes Frazier" fight.
It's no secret that the Yankees are in the market for a starter, and Frazier has long been rumored to be one of New York's most expendable assets. He may have been kept out of the lineup preemptively because the team feels that it's close to striking a deal, but that's nothing more than speculation.
Everyone will just have to wait with bated breath to see what, if anything, will come of this.
