    • Unfortunately for Reds fans, no one on the team, except maybe Joey Votto, is off-limits this year. The team is struggling, nine games below .500 and 16.5 out of first place in the AL Central, so it seems like the perfect time to get a return on some top talent.

    Frazier is having the season of his life, hitting a career-high .272 with 25 homers and 57 RBI. He has surpassed some of his career-bests already and is on pace to crush his former highs in home runs, RBI, hits, doubles and runs while he has slashed his strikeout totals.

    After winning the Home Run Derby, Frazier’s stock rose through the roof and any team looking for some infield talent or maybe just a bat to throw in the middle of the lineup will be calling for the 29-year-old third baseman.

    It’s crazy to think that a great year like the one he’s having doesn’t even guarantee him security with the current squad.

    Frazier, along with teammate Jay Bruce, will be talked about a ton in the coming weeks and the only reason he’s not No. 1 on this list is because the top guy is an absolute monster.
