2024 Fantasy Outlook
Frazier slashed .240/.300/.396 with 60 RBI across 454 plate appearances with the Orioles last season. He elected free agency to avoid being completely phased out by Baltimore's young talent, and he will presumably replace Michael Massey as the Royals' primary second baseman while occasionally getting a look in the corner outfield spots.

Headed for free agency
The Royals declined Frazier's (thumb) mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Frazier saw only 294 plate appearances in 2024 -- his only campaign with the Royals -- his fewest in a full season since 2016. He also performed poorly by maintaining a .576 OPS with four home runs and three stolen bases. Frazier may be able to find a major-league deal due to his defensive versatility, though his days as a regular starter are likely in the rearview mirror.

Stat Review
How does Adam Frazier compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2016
Frazier hit a modest .238 last season, marking the second time in three years that he's finished the year below .240. That's an issue for a player who's averaged just eight homers and eight steals per 600 plate appearances over the course of his career. When the hits fall as they did in 2021, when a .339 BABIP helped him to a .305 average, he contributes enough in that category to have broader fantasy appeal, but when his BABIP drops to .268 like it did last season, he doesn't do much outside of deeper formats. Expecting much more than last year's career-high 11 steals in his age-31 season seems unwise, as does expecting him to suddenly hit for even passable power. His 1.5% barrel rate and 23.8% hard hit rate both sat in the second percentile. Between his contact and defensive versatility, Frazier still has enough to offer MLB clubs, but he does so little else that it's no surprise the Orioles will be his fourth team in the last three years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely hitting free agency
Frazier's mutual option for 2025 is likely to be declined, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old underwent thumb surgery after the Royals lost to the Yankees in the ALDS, but he should be healthy in time for spring training. Frazier signed with Kansas City over the winter but produced the worst offensive year of his career with a .202/.282/.294 slash line in 104 regular-season games. The veteran utility man should be able to secure a contract somewhere for 2025, though he may have to settle for a minor-league deal.
