Frazier, yes, plus Freese, Harrison, Cabrera, Rivera, Nunez, Prado. https://t.co/K9tHNhXeok

It appears as if the New York Mets aren’t the only ball club that recognizes the undervalued talent that T.J. Rivera and Asdrubal Cabrera possess, as the Red Sox have inquired about acquiring the pair.
Boston has been left with few legitimate options at third base after Pablo Sandoval was designated for assignment, Travis Shaw was traded to Milwaukee and Yoan Moncada was shipped to Chicago.
While Cabrera appears more expensive on paper, it is Rivera, who has five years of team control remaining, that would be harder for New York to part with.
