Cubs set to sign Frazier

Clint Frazier is close to finding a new home.

The outfielder, released by the Yankees last week, was finalizing a one-year deal to join the Cubs, The Post confirmed.

The 27-year-old was designated for assignment by the Yankees after a difficult season in which he opened the year as the starting left fielder before he was sidetracked by poor performance and injuries.

Frazier last played for the Yankees on June 30 and had a rehab assignment cut short, as he experienced vision problems and dizziness — though neither the team nor Frazier explained the exact nature of the situation.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said last week — before Frazier was cut loose in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster — he was under the impression the outfielder was healthy and would be able to be on the field for spring training.

But with Joey Gallo, Aaron Hicks and Aaron Judge — and perhaps Giancarlo Stanton — ready to play the outfield next season, there was no clear regular role for Frazier, who the Yankees acquired in 2016 in the trade that sent Andrew Miller to Cleveland.

Frazier, the fifth-overall pick in the 2013 amateur draft, seemingly had a breakout season in The Bronx in 2020, when he finished with a .905 OPS in 160 plate appearances, which led Cashman and Aaron Boone to name him the starting left fielder last offseason.

But Frazier never got going in ’21, with just a .633 OPS in 218 plate appearances, thanks in part to a drastic reduction in power and contact. He’ll get a new start in Chicago, where new GM Carter Hawkins knows Frazier well from his time in Cleveland’s front office when Frazier was a prospect.

The Orioles agreed to a oneyear deal with second baseman Rougned Odor. The team announced the move Tuesday night. The 27-year-old Odor spent last season with the Yankees, hitting .202 with 15 home runs and 39 RBIs in 102 games.

Odor played seven seasons with the Rangers before joining the Yankees.
