The decision that the baseball world has been waiting for has finally been made. A choice that Braves Country was waiting for ever since that 27th and final, triumphant out of Game 6 of the 2021 World Series was recorded has been made. An acquisition that became somewhat academic after the Braves became proactive and moved on with Matt Olson is finally official. Freddie Freeman has finally found his new team, and he’s going back home to Southern California.
While there were plenty of teams who were in the conversation to sign the former longtime first baseman for the Braves, it really felt like this was inevitable, wasn’t it?
