With the Reds in re-building mode, it makes sense for them to deal Frazier while he has two years of control left. Though Thompson’s.295/.363/.533 slash line is much-improved over what he produced in the minors, many observers feel Thompson is capable of providing strong defense from all three outfield positions and hitting 20-25 home runs. 241 with 101 homers, 395 RBI and 94 stolen bases. Friedman added the Dodgers were uncertain of how Frazier would respond to being asked to move off third base. Montas is still only 22, but he has been around in the minors since he has been 17. The best might be Peraza, who made his major league debut in 2015.
