Freddie Freeman reportedly fires agents days after tear-filled return to Atlanta

On Friday, Freddie Freeman was in tears upon his first trip to Atlanta as a visiting player.

On Tuesday, he reportedly fired the agents that oversaw his offseason departure from the Braves to the Los Angeles Dodgers. ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the first baseman has cut ties with Excel Sports Management, which failed to reach an agreement with the Braves before Freeman signed as a free agent with the Dodgers. Per Olney, Freeman is "angry with how his free-agent negotiations played out."

After the report, Freeman described his representation as a "fluid" situation in a statement to MLB.
