Fred started his career in the minor league system of the New York Yankees during the early 1980s. He was selected in the 1981 amateur draft by the Yankees, but the following year was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. He became a full-time major league player in 1987, and would hit 34 home runs the following year, the first of seven consecutive seasons with at least 30 home runs. He became the top power hitter of the American league, and would help the Blue Jays get win the AL East division title, being very consistent leading into the 1990s.
In 1990 he was traded to the San Diego Padres, and continued his consistency in the National League. He made his first All-Star appearance and led the NL in home runs. However, in 1993, the Padres sought to unload high priced veterans, and this led him to move to the Atlanta Braves, subsequently helping the Braves to first place in the National League West for a third consecutive season. He won the All-Star Game MVP Award in 1994, and remained with the Braves until the following year, and would hit two home runs during the 1995 World Series win by the team. His net worth was rising steadily.
Later in his career, he played for his hometown team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He made solid performances in his seasons with the team from 1998 to 2001, and was then sought out by the Chicago Cubs. After a strong 2002 performance, he played a year for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but spent a lot of time on the disabled list. The Devil Rays then re-signed him in hopes that he would get 500 career home runs, however, he was soon dropped. In 2005, he officially declared his retirement when no teams requested his services.
Outside of his playing career, Fred became part of Tom Emanski’s Baseball Fundamentals training video commercials in 1991. The commercials would run for over a decade with ESPN, making it one of the longest running commercials on television. He currently works as a Special Assistant to Baseball Operations with the Atlanta Braves, and also has his own radio show in Tampa, Florida. These other projects have also helped with building his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Fred is married to Veronica, and they have two children.
