Fake News!

Who hates fake news? Anyone?

We’ve talked about Clint Frazier here lately….a lot. It’s overkill for some and I get it. There are other things to talk about. So let’s talk about Frazier by putting something that should be a NON-STORY to rest…..all thanks to bad media coverage.

We all know by now, Frazier was sent down to Triple-A Scranton / Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. Mike Tauchman was also sent down on Monday, he reported the next day and was in the lineup for Tuesday’s game….but Frazier was not.

Frazier was sent down to Triple-A a day before, but failed to play in a game before Tauchman. Does that seem a little strange? Maybe. Did Frazier violate any rules by not reporting before Tauchman? No, not at all. But of course, the media has to vilify him, like NJ.com did HERE.

Now I am not going to try and empathize with Frazier, but I am also not going to throw the guy under the bus. Did it look bad that Tauchman reported first? Sure. Maybe to some. You can argue that it does not make him look good. Maybe you think he threw a temper tantrum and needs to grow up, and that’s fine. The bottom line here is…..he’s not in violation of any rules but the media wants to try and make this a thing when it shouldn’t be.

According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, players have 72-hours to report to their new assignment after being demoted. It’s not often that players will use the full 72 hours allowed, but it happens sometimes. He was contractually entitled to that right whether he needed it or not is irrelevant.

The only real story here would be if Frazier didn’t report within the 72-hour window, but he did. That would be a story. So it doesn’t matter if I am upset about it. It doesn’t matter if the Yankees or Brian Cashman are upset about it either as long as they don’t publicize it and so far…Cashman isn’t. All we have heard from Cashman about it was this…..“He has that collectively-bargained right.”

Take that for Cashman code if you want but either way he has to accept that decision. I wouldn’t go so far as to say he is fine or happy with it since he gave the vague, boring Cashman answer but he’s no dummy. He knows he can’t publicly denounce that because the next story would be the union picking a fight over it. Honestly, that would be more news worthy.

I get this isn’t a good look for Frazier, but he made his choice which he will have to deal with no matter what consequences may come of it. His long time to report isn’t a newsworthy story. We may not like it and it may not show the greatest character but the Collective Bargaining Agreement gave him that right whether we agree with it or not.

Frazier has had a rocky relationship with the media, and based on recent events it looks like that may continue. Hopefully the next time we see widespread coverage on Frazier it will actually be newsworthy.
