4 moves that need to happen after Frazier trade

Another day, another baseball blockbuster.

The Chicago White Sox doubled down Wednesday on last year's aggressive all-in, acquiring two-time All-Star Todd Frazier from the Cincinnati Reds in a three-team, seven-player trade involving the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Frazier brings much-needed power to an offense-starved team, though his South Side arrival promises to affect more than just the White Sox lineup. Here are four potential dominoes to watch for after MLB's latest blockbuster move:

Dodgers move farm for Jose

It's beginning to sound like a broken record, but the Dodgers should really trade for Jose Fernandez. And after adding three of Chicago's top-10 prospects, they might have enough pieces to make it happen. The Dodgers reportedly balked at Miami's recent asking price of Corey Seager and Julio Urias for Fernandez - and understandably so - though it's possible their stance has since softened after Zack Greinke signed with the D-Backs and their trade for Aroldis Chapman fell apart. While none of the players L.A. acquired Wednesday would headline a potential Fernandez deal, perhaps the glutton of quality prospects - and aggressiveness of their division rivals - will convince the Dodgers to part with at least one of their blue chippers for three years of the Marlins' ace.

Reds complete sell off

If the Reds' MLB record of consecutive starts by rookie pitchers wasn't enough to convince you they were rebuilding, consider this: Frazier is the fourth key member (joining Johnny Cueto, Mike Leake, and Marlon Byrd) jettisoned off the team's Opening Day roster from last season, and would likely be the fifth if it weren't for Chapman's off-the-field troubles. Brandon Phillips is reportedly drawing interest from the Nationals, while the Reds continue in their efforts to move Chapman. With Jay Bruce entering his walk year, and Zack Cozart under control for just two more seasons, the Reds are closer than ever to a complete rebuild.

Indians answer rivals

The White Sox not only bolstered their offense with the acquisition of Frazier, they also mitigated Cleveland's efforts to improve its own underwhelming lineup. Despite reportedly agreeing to one-year deals with Rajai Davis and Mike Napoli on Wednesday, the Indians remain in need of another impact bat to complement their talented starting rotation. The Indians were one of several teams reportedly interested in Frazier, and will now have to redirect their search for other cost-controlled bats via trade. A popular partner for Cleveland remains the Cubs, who have the types of young offensive pieces (Jorge Soler, Kyle Schwarber) that the Indians would likely covet in a deal involving their young pitchers.

White Sox fill other holes

The White Sox have turned over a third of their lineup by adding Frazier, Brett Lawrie, and Dioner Navarro this offseason, but they still haven't addressed an outfield and shortstop position that rated among the worst in baseball last year. General manager Rick Hahn hinted more moves could follow, and speculation's already running wild of a possible Cuban connection at U.S. Cellular Field featuring Yoenis Cespedes and Jose Abreu. If the White Sox learned anything from their aggressive overhaul last year, it's that you can't go halfway into an all-in.
