BALTIMORE — Growing up in Georgia, Adam Frazier envisioned nights like the ones he had last fall with the Seattle Mariners, pushing for the first playoff berth of his career.
“It’s something you dream of your whole life,” Frazier said. “You’re sitting in the backyard picturing yourself in those moments, and having that opportunity is what you’re playing for.”
It just happened to come as Frazier was going through the worst season of his major league career. But after helping Seattle end a 21-year postseason drought, the 31-year-old second baseman looks forward to rebounding and again experiencing the thrill of a playoff push after signing a one-year contract with the Orioles on Thursday.
