After winning the 2021 World Series for the only franchise he’s ever played for as a professional, five-time All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman will sign with the Dodgers, according to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network.
The contract covers six years and Is worth $162 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel.
Freeman, who is a California native, was widely expected to return to the Braves on a long-term deal. But on Monday, Atlanta traded for Oakland A’s first baseman Matt Olson, essentially removing them from the bidding for Freeman.
