If was Elias was so hell bent on signing a left-handed bat he should have just signed Belt (a much better hitter), then he could have shopped Mountcastle for pitching help. 

He is hell bent on going cheap. Bottom line.

Cheap is one thing.  If I’m being cheap, I don’t buy something for 8M when I already have one (Urias) for less and another two (Westburg and Ortiz) for a lot less.

Its a one year deal, he has to pretend to the fan base he is doing something. He still holding to over 100+ million profit for the owners.

They got $30 million extra disney money, too.

For his career, Frazier hits into a DP 10.2% of the time he’s in a possible GIDP situation, compared to 10.3% league average.   But, he was over that figure in 2021 (11.2%) and 2022 (12.7%).   It makes sense he’d be above league average, since he rarely strikes out and isn’t particularly fast.

And he's slowing down.  It's just a bad signing.
