Pittsburgh Pirates: Two Dark Horse Trade Partners For Adam Frazier

While there have been rumors that have been linked to Adam Frazier, these teams haven’t stood out among them, but make sense as trade partners with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier would most likely be a fit for most MLB teams. However, your usual suspects have so far included the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics in trade rumors surrounding the utility man. Other teams like the New York Mets and Washington Nationals could make logical fits as well.

That said, there are a few teams that would also make good fits in a Frazier trade, ones that have not really been pointed out by anyone. During the previous offseason when the Pittsburgh Pirates traded Starling Marte, the Mets and the San Diego Padres seemed to be making the biggest pushes to acquire the outfielder. Soon before he was traded, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers were two teams that appeared as potential teams making a last push for the outfielder. It ended up the D-Backs’ last push was enough to land him.

General manager Ben Cherington looks like he’s not just going to trade Frazier for the first offer that comes though the door. Given that he’s listening on every offer, this could lead to some potential dark horse teams as landing spots in a Frazier trade. Here are two that could become trade spots for Frazier.
