When the Atlanta Braves reported to Spring Training in 2021, the thinking was that they wouldn’t break camp without having a new longterm extension in place with Freddie Freeman. Spring Training ended with no deal and so did the regular season. Inexplicably, Freeman is now a free agent and is free to sign with any team which is a chilling thought to Braves fans, especially coming off of a World Series win.
Freeman’s free agency was a topic of discussion on MLB Now with Joel Sherman and The Athletic’s David O’Brien and Jayson Stark weighing in.
