Todd Frazier, a Native of Toms River Who Played for the Yankees, Mets, and Rutgers, Is Not Ready To Retire

Todd Frazier Hopes to Return to MLB in 2022

Frazier is a free agent for the 2022 MLB season. And the 35-year-old third baseman told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that he hopes to return to the major leagues for a 12th season.

“I still think I can still play in the major leagues ... I know they are getting a lot better and they’re getting stronger, pitchers and hitters, but I still think that as more of an older guy, I can bring a lot to a ball club with wisdom and help the younger kids out. ... I can help these younger kids get better. I’m not saying I’m going to help them be the next Mike Trout. .. But an example, like if a guy did something wrong, let’s talk about it so we don’t do it again. That kind of stuff. Or why did you put in that instance, per se.”

Last season, Frazier had a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates, hitting.086 in 13 games. After that, he joined Team USA for the Tokyo Olympics, winning a silver medal.

Frazier, a 35-year-old Little League World Series hero from Toms River, New Jersey, who went on to play at Rutgers, is unquestionably nearing the end of his career. Frazier was one of baseball's most feared sluggers when he was at his best.

With the Cincinnati Reds in 2015, he hit 35 home runs and won the Home Run Derby at Great American Ballpark. With the Chicago White Sox in 2016, Frazier set a new career high with 40 home runs.

In 2017, Frazier was a member of the New York Yankees, and from 2018 through 2020, he was a member of the New York Mets. After the 2019 season, Frazier signed as a free agent with the Texas Rangers, who later traded him back to the Mets in August of last year. In 45 games in 2020, he had a.236 batting average and four home homers.
