Jason Andrew Frasor (born August 9, 1977) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He made his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2004, and had a 4.08 ERA in 63 games. He also played in MLB for the Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals and the Atlanta Braves.

Professional career

Toronto Blue Jays

A starter in the low minors from 1999 to 2002, he was converted to a reliever in 2003. The Blue Jays acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers prior to the 2004 season in exchange for Jayson Werth.[1] He was sent to the minors on April 28, 2006, and recalled on May 11, 2006. On July 2, 2006, Frasor was demoted again to Triple-A; the Blue Jays recalled Shaun Marcum in his place.

On January 9, 2007, Frasor signed a one-year contract for the 2007 season with the Toronto Blue Jays, avoiding salary arbitration. The contract was worth $825,000 with cumulative incentives based upon games pitched.[2][3]

Frasor began 2009 with a 4–0 record through early May, without allowing an earned run. This was one of the best marks in all of Major League Baseball, and helped the Blue Jays hold first place in the American League through the 2009 season's first 26 games.

On July 17, 2011, he made his 453rd appearance for the Blue Jays, passing Duane Ward to become the team's all-time appearance leader.[4]

Chicago White Sox

On July 27, 2011, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox with Zach Stewart for Mark Teahen and Edwin Jackson.[5]

Return to Toronto
