Todd Frazier is back at New York Mets. The New York Mets acquired the veteran infielder, Frazier, along with the veteran catcher Robinson Chirinos from Texas. The Mets brought three players in two separate deals, including Tom River's Frazier, who played for the Mets back in 2018 and 2019 MLB Season before moving to Texas Rangers in a free-agent deal.
Frazier, who played mostly first and some third for the Texas Rangers, was batting .250 with 2 HRs and 7 RBI's. His return alongside Robinson Chirinos is considered as a platform needed depth behind the plate. With his return, the fans of the New York Mets are already excited and wondered how he would end up in the first team lineup.
At first base/DH, Dominic Smith and Pete Alonso are regulars. Similarly, J.D. Davis is taken as the third baseman in every game. It means that Frazier could end up in a pinch-hitting role with some spot starts thrown in.
