Agent Casey Close Denies Report He Withheld Braves' Last Offer from Freddie Freeman
On Wednesday, Doug Gottlieb of Fox Sports reported that Freddie Freeman fired his agent, Casey Close, after Close didn't tell Freeman that the Atlanta Braves made him a final offer in free agency this past winter before Freeman signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Doug Gottlieb Casey Close never told Freddie Freeman about the Braves final offer, that is why Freeman fired him. He found out in Atlanta this weekend. It isn’t that rare to have happen in MLB, but it happened - Close knew Freddie would have taken the ATL deal
Close vehemently denied that report.
