Braves beat writer pumps the brakes on Freddie Freeman-Yankees rumors

Hold everything.

Yes, former Atlanta Braves star Freddie Freeman signing with the New York Yankees sounds like a great idea in theory.

After all, the Yankees have a need at first base and Freeman has the bat and glove necessary to star at Yankee Stadium.

But MLB.com Atlanta beat writer Mark Bowman doesn’t necessarily see Freeman heading to the Bronx.

So far the Rangers, Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and Dodgers are among the teams who have shown interest in Freeman. ... Freeman’s personality makes it hard to picture him playing in New York.
