Before the 2020 season got underway, I wrote an article in July about what the Pirates should do with utility man Adam Frazier. Now, with the shortened season in the rearview mirror for Pittsburgh, I thought it might be time to evaluate trade chips and the future of the organization once again.
Frazier, the 28-year-old lefty, is under contract in 2021 with $4.25 million set to go his way. In 2022, he’s arbitration eligible before becoming an unrestricted free agent in his age 31, 2023 season. Suffice it to say, by the time that latter date rolls around, he won’t be a Pirate any longer, regardless of what management does with him in the near future.
