Earlier this week, we took a closer look at some first base options for the Atlanta Braves if Freddie Freeman were to choose to play somewhere else next season. Demetrius took a closer look at Anthony Rizzo, who is arguably the best free agent first base option behind Freeman. Scott explored a potential trade for Oakland first baseman Matt Olson, who is probably the best replacement option overall, but would come at a very high cost.
Today, I get to state the obvious. The easiest thing the Braves can do is simply re-sign Freddie Freeman as soon as the lockout is over, and then move forward to address the rest of the roster.
