#Yankees’ Clint Frazier unfazed by mask-pledge critics
“#Yankees’ Clint Frazier unfazed by mask-pledge critics”
But because this is 2020, he also drew criticism from some.
“It was interesting,” Frazier said Friday of the reaction. “I got a lot of positive feedback and I got a lot of negative feedback, as well, just from wearing the mask.”
Asked about the negative feedback, Frazier said “it was social media stuff. I got called a sheep by some people.”
Frazier said he was unfazed by the simple-minded comments.
“It’s all good,’’ Frazier said. “Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but with the situation we’re in, with how fragile this virus is for some people, I’m not too worried about the negative feedback because moving forward, I think it’s the right thing to do, to protect myself and others around me. We want to win the World Series and the way to do that is to be healthy.”
As for the praise he got, Frazier will take it, but isn’t putting much into it.
“As far as the maturity thing goes, I don’t really put much thought into that,’’ Frazier said. “There are a lot of people who’ve said things about me that don’t really even know me. It doesn’t really affect me, but if they think I’m growing up, I guess that’s a positive right now.”
Frazier has been limited for some of spring training 2.0 by plantar fasciitis and he’s unsure of how he will fit in once the season begins.
“I think it’s pretty natural to let your mind wander to those areas, but something I’ve learned the last couple of years is stop trying to play GM,’’ Frazier said. “I have a role. I don’t know what that role is.”
Aaron Boone said he is pleased the Yankees will be able to open their season Thursday at Nationals Park in Washington after there was concern the series would need to be moved due to local coronavirus regulations.
According to local guidelines, players, coaches and staff would have to quarantine for 14 days if they were exposed to the coronavirus. Since spring training 2.0 started on July 3, eight Nationals players and one coach have had to enter the city’s mandatory 14-day quarantine.

The team was looking at two possible venues to play the 2020 season — their Single-A stadium in Fredericksburg, Va. and their spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“I didn’t put a lot into it,’’ Boone said Friday.
He talked to GM Brian Cashman on Thursday and found out they would be heading to Washington, after all.
“It sounded like they worked through whatever issues they were having,’’ Boone said. “It sounds like it’s all systems go down there, which is good to hear.”
Boone said Mike King will start Saturday’s exhibition game against the Mets at Citi Field, while Zack Britton, Chad Green, Tommy Kahnle and Adam Ottavino also will see action. Jordan Montgomery is scheduled to start Sunday’s game against the Mets in The Bronx, followed by Jonathan Loaisiga.
