On Wednesday night, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. made news after he went on Instagram Live with Yancen Pujols and talked about losing Freddie Freeman. Acuña said that he will not miss Freeman this year because the two “clashed.”
Later at night, Acuña tweeted that he didn’t say what people thought he was saying.
On Thursday, Acuña clarified what he meant by saying his words were being taken out of context.
“I think the reporters exaggerated,” he said through a translator. “I didn’t say anything bad about Freeman. I talked about what happened in 2018 when I came up as a rookie, the rest was blown out of proportion.
