MLB rumors: 1 team ranks above Yankees among Freddie Freeman contenders

Monday has seen MLB free agency turn into a feeding frenzy. But one name hasn’t been heard much: Freddie Freeman.

MLB.com ranked the contenders for the former Atlanta Braves star. It has the New York Yankees coming at No. 2 behind, yes, the Braves.

The Yankees are the looming tower in this situation, a team that sure could use a left-handed-hitting first baseman -- you saw how Anthony Rizzo fit there, and, no offense to Rizzo, he’s no Freeman at this point -- and a team that, if it gets the opportunity, will happily spend for one.
