Los Angeles receives a package of young players with major-league experience from the White Sox, acquiring the hard-throwing Montas after the deal for Aroldis Chapman fell apart last week. In his major league debut, he played in seven games for Los Angeles, with one RBI.
Obama presses Turkey’s president to lower tensions with Iraq
On Dec. 4, Turkey reinforced the force protection component of its units in the camp due to increasing threats to their security. Their conversation came after Turkish troops were wounded when a training base in northern Iraq was hit by Daesh on Wednesday.
Frazier, who likely pushes new White Sox infielder Brett Lawrie from third base to second, batted. In Frazier the White Sox get the third baseman they’ve been seeking the last few years, as the 29-year-old All-Star hit.255/.309/.498 with 35 home runs and 89 RBI in 2015 compared to the.226/.277/.345 and 13 home runs the team got from all of their third basemen in 2015. CBS Sports MLB Insider Jon Heyman said Frazier is under contract for $7.5 million for 2016, eligible for artribitration after the 2016 season and can become a free agent after the 2017 season. They say he’s got top-tier speed while also giving him above-average hit and fielding grades. They surrendered three players that had cups of coffee with the team, but none of them were cornerstone players. One would presume he will be dealt as soon as his situation gets sorted out. The Reds are reportedly in trade discussions with the Nationals for Phillips, according to Fox Sports. It was clear that they were not going to head into the season without making a change.
Dixon, 23, was the Dodgers’ 3rd-round pick in the 2013 draft and hit.263/.303/.443 with five homers at three levels for the Dodgers last season. As noted by MLB Trade Rumors, the 23-year-old did well in the Arizona Fall League, hitting.295.
Frazier is coming off one of the better years of his career where he hit.
Thompson put himself squarely on the map (the White Sox even touted him as a potential everyday center fielder while in Nashville) with a stellar two-month run in Chicago that far outshined any of his recent minor-league performances. “While we are thrilled to get Todd, it does sting a little bit to give up the three players we had to give up to get it done, which may be the hallmark of a fair trade in the end”.
It remains to be seen if the Dodgers parlay this into a bigger move, but as of right now they have added prospects.
This move is potentially setting up a bigger trade for the Dodgers, in which they have been rumored to be targeting Marlins ace Jose Fernandez.

“Frankie Montas has a tremendous right arm”. As most power hitters do, he also strikes out a lot, fanning in 22 percent of his minor league plate apperances. He posted a 7-7 record in 19 appearances as a starter with a 3.77 ERA and 119 strikeouts for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers this past season. However, they believe that with Montas, Johnson and Thompson they’re better positioned to make moves in the market.
