The Major League Baseball hot stove is beginning to heat up.
Earlier Tuesday the Detroit Tigers dealt J.D. Martinez to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and now it looks like Todd Frazier could be the next notable name to be moved.
The White Sox third baseman reportedly was a healthy scratch from the lineup before Chicago’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.

Frazier has been rumored to be the focus of a number of teams as his power bat is one of the best on the market.
The third baseman currently is hitting .207 with 16 home runs and 44 RBIs, but he has been heating up recently and has been much better away from Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.

It seems likely that Frazier will be on the move soon.
