Former New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is happy he is no longer playing for the Bombers. The outfielder couldn’t establish himself in the Bronx during his five-year tenure, for a myriad of reasons that included poor performance, injuries, defensive issues, and more.
The Yankees designated him for assignment when they needed roster spots to protect prospects from the Rule 5 Draft, then released him. He was signed by the Chicago Cubs on a one-year contract, worth around $1.5 million, and he will receive ample opportunities to earn regular or semi-regular playing time.
On Tuesday, on a Twitter exchange with some fans, he was saying how happy he is to get this renewed opportunity.
