Clint Frazier Rips Yankees Culture for Demanding 'Cookie Cutter' Players

Clint Frazier criticized the culture of the New York Yankees in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times.

"I like it here. Certainly don’t miss some of the things over there. And I’m really enjoying the way that this clubhouse has maneuvered. It seems like there’s a lot of guys in here that are just accepting of everyone. And it’s been really good for me.

"You had to be a cookie-cutter version to be on that team. If not, then you were like a really bad distraction, it seemed like. So I don’t miss being told how I had to look for the last five years."

During his time with the Yankees, he hit.239 with 29 home runs and 97RBI. In November, the Yankees released him and in December, he joined the Cubs.

According to The Athletic, Frazier is no longer with the major league club. He was hitting.216 with no home runs and one single hit.

During his time in the Bronx, he had an interesting tenure.

On the flip side, the defense was poor.

It was difficult to find a consistent everyday spot in the lineup.

me being happy i'm on the cubs has nothing to do with yankees fans. it has to do with the fact that i'm happy to be able to play somewhere i'll get a better chance at playing 😂

He told The Short Porch that he was "severelysymptomatic" due to the concussions he suffered in the last two years.

After losing his spot on Chicago's big league roster, he now faces a new challenge.

After the Cleveland Indians selected him fifth overall in the MLB draft, he had a lot of potential. Even with the recent DFA, there is still time for Frazier to take advantage of that potential.

The Yankees will host the Cubs for a three-game series in the Bronx starting Friday.
