When the New York Yankees acquired Clint Frazier from the Cleveland Guardians for Andrew Miller in 2016, fans expected Frazier to become the next star in New York. People believed Frazier, Aaron Judge, and the rest of the core would lead the team down the road. But Frazier never panned out in New York and the Yankees released him during the 2021-2022 offseason. He ultimately signed with the Chicago Cubs.
Chicago will head to the Bronx for a three game series this weekend and Clint Frazier is ready to roll. The new Cubs outfielder spoke candidly on his new environment compared to his old one, per the New York Post.
‘‘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 maneuvered. It seems like there’s a lot of guys in here that are just accepting of everyone. And it’s been really good for me.”
The former Yankees top prospect continued.
“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.”
The Yankees are one of the most strict teams in MLB. They don't typically allow beards or long hair. They are an organization that prioritizes class and professionalism. For some people, they don't mind that mentality. But Frazier clearly took issue with it.
Although Clint Frazier may enjoy playing for the Cubs more, his tenure in Chicago hasn't been anything to write home about. He is slashing just .216/.356/.297 with no home runs over 45 plate appearances. He can expect the Yankees boo-birds to be in peak form during this three-game series.
