The Chicago White Sox will get Todd Frazier from the Cincinnati Reds as part of a three-team trade that also includes the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to multiple reports. The Reds acquired infielders Jose Peraza and Brandon Dixon and outfielder Scott Schebler from the Dodgers. He hit.255/.309/.498 with 35 home runs and 89 RBI in 157 games with Cincinnati last season, and has spent his entire 5-year major-league career with the Reds.

After a big 2014 season (.280/.365/.556, 28 home runs), Schebler had a tough time in his first taste of Triple-A in 2015, hitting.241/.322/.410 with 13 home runs. Johnson has plue, plus speed, having stolen 84 bases in the minors back in 2013, but scouts question if he will ever get on base enough to take advantage of his speed. “It kinda put a smile on my face to see the guys we’ve got”.
I just wrote about 10 players who need to be traded with Frazier topping the list. The White Sox ranked 28th in the majors in runs, and their third basemen were 29th in batting average and last in RBIs. He can play left field if needed, is under team control for two more seasons, and is owed just $7.5 million in 2016.

The Chicago White Sox have made a massive splash on the trade market, acquiring third baseman Todd Frazier in a three-way trade.
The White Sox finished in fourth place in the American League Central in 2015 at 76-86, 19 games behind the eventual World Series-winning Kansas City Royals. The 2017 season is the one to capitalize on and I would like to think the White Sox are prepared to do such a sneaky maneuver. Plus, you look at other teams, such as the Cleveland Indians, who have a good amount of starting pitching depth to trade from, which would give them the advantage in that regard over the Nats.
Cincinnati plans initially to move shortstop Eugenio Suarez to third base, with Zack Cozart expected to return from reconstructive knee surgery. Peraza is the primary prospect the Reds acquired.
The Reds have reportedly been shopping Brandon Phillips and Aroldis Chapman in trades and the Washington Nationals have shown interest in both players. “He is a high-character, smart baseball player who will provide an impact bat in the middle of our order.
Thompson, the 24-year-old brother of Golden State Warriors guard Klay, appeared in 44 games for the White Sox a season ago. 230 in 36 games for the White Sox in 2015. He hit. 295 with three home runs and 12 RBI for the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League.

In case you have not figured it out the reds are rebuilding. Frazier was an asset they didn't need right now. Kudos to the Reds.

Exactly. It was time to go "all in" on this rebuild and Frazier was the perfect trade chip. He's already 30 (will be by the start of the season) and if his production continues will be looking at 5/100M (at least) after 2017 and the Reds lose him for nothing.

Not sure on the return, but trading him was a must.

Before last season the Reds had no reason to rebuild. They had a contending roster that needed just a piece or two to become a potential world series winner. Instead management did absolutely nothing for two seasons

Rebuilding at this point might make sense but they never should have gotten here in the first place

Just curious, what should've Reds management done differently?

Whatever the White Sox do, they should forbid Frazier from participating on the All-star HR contest. Had him on my fantasy team and he's a monster prior to the All-star break and hasn't done shit after hitting in the HR contest the past two seasons.

And the Brewers and Reds both could finish 40 games out of first in the NL Central for the next couple of seasons.
