“Had to be a cookie-cutter version to be on that team”: Chicago Cubs outfielder Clint Frazier DFA’d
Clint Frazier
The Chicago Cubs designated outfielder Clint Frazier has been DFA’d on Friday ahead of a series against his former team, the New York Yankees. The Cubs had to take this tough call to set aside one of their valuable players when Clint Frazier went and praises his present club (The Chicago Cubs) following the disparagement he threw toward his former team (The New York Yankees).
After playing five years for New York from 2017 to ’21, Frazier signed with the Cubs last winter. But after his disapproving statement on the Yankees heading into the weekend series, and his disappointing play overall thus far this season, there was nothing that could save the player from being DFA’d.
Chicago could now trade him, release him or send him outright to the minors if he clears misbehaviour.

Clint Frazier’s statement on Yankees brings him undesirable consequences
When asked about his situation at the Chicago Cubs after being traded, Clint Frazier said, “I like it here, certainly don’t miss some of the things over there. And I’m really enjoying the way that this clubhouse has manoeuvred. It seems like there are a lot of guys in here that are just accepting of everyone. And it’s been really good for me.”
He continued, “And you had to be a cookie-cutter version to be on that team. If not, then you were, like, a really bad distraction, it seemed like. So, I don’t miss being told how I had to look for the last five years.”

Clint Frazier has not had a good season since being traded to The Chicago Cubs. He had just eight hits in 37 at-bats for the Cubs this season, hitting just .216 with one home run and four RBIs. With right-handed pitcher Chris Martin returning from bereavement leave, the DFA of Frazier opens up a spot for Martin on both the active and 40-man roster.
After having plenty to say about the Yankees and their treatment of him during his time in the Bronx, it sounds like New York got the last word on Frazier heading into the weekend series.
