New Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was introduced to the Los Angeles media on Friday for the first time since joining the franchise in free agency.
In the introductory press conference on Friday, Freeman was asked about the Braves, the only franchise he’s ever played for, and whether or not they made a serious push for him in free agency.
“As the season went on, there were no talks, so you figure this is what was going to happen. When you get to free agency, all things are kind of off,” Freeman said.
Freeman signed a six-year, $162 million contract earlier this week, as the five-time All-Star and one of the best free agents on the market officially came off the board.
