Freddie Freeman Says There Wasn’t ‘Friction’ With Acuña Jr. in Atlanta

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman addressed comments from former Braves teammate Ronald Acuña Jr. on an Instagram live on Wednesday night in which the Atlanta outfielder said that he would not miss Freeman.

Acuña Jr. said while he and Freeman shared the “same stadium”, he often “clashed” with him on his stance of overly enforcing clubhouse rules during his rookie season, especially when it came to wearing eyeblack on his face.

Freeman, in response, stated that he would miss Acuña but that there were certain rules to be followed within the Braves’ organization.
