If you asked me what the saddest part of Freddie Freeman’s wrist fracture is, I’d be torn between two thoughts. First, it’s not having the joy of watching Freeman maul baseballs every day for the next two or three months. That’s a huge loss. Second, though, it’s that this may have been Freeman’s career year, and the wrist injury has put a serious dent in his ability to have an MVP-caliber, top-all-time season. These are both losses, to be sure, but they’re unlikely to linger in my mind: Freeman will return (and it will be awesome), and each Opening Day brings another chance for him to wage another campaign against National League pitching and bring it to its knees.
Will Freeman’s wrist injury linger?
