Fans in this thread feel that they are entitled to having Freddie Freeman re-sign with the Braves.

I actually read it and I agree with you. Freddie doesn’t owe anyone shite.

Exactly. But fans are irrational, especially most in this thread.

I don't think he owes the Braves a hometown discount or anything. But I think the Braves should match anything that is close to reasonable in years and money.

Don't give him a 6th. I love Freddie but even with the DH, by year 4 he becomes a liability.



Terrible take.

Freddie will still be hitting at a decent clip at age 38. The DH makes this even easier to give him the 6th year.

#Braves have been in touch with Oakland about Matt Olson (an Atlanta native) in the event that Freddie Freeman signs elsewhere. Many in the industry expect Freeman to sign before Carlos Correa, among top remaining free agents. @MLB @MLBNetwork

#MLB Trade Deadline no longer July 31st….Commissioner now has authority to set the date between 7/28 and 8/3 each year.

Definitely want Freddie. 100%. But a quick look at this dude’s stats, and it doesn’t appear it would be a big drop off in production. He actually had a better year than Freddie last year. He’s 4.5 years younger and isn’t a free agent until after ‘24. But what in the world would it take to get him? To be clear, this is simply a contingency plan.

The Angels will be acquiring either Correa or Freeman.

They are all in next 2 seasons before Otani hits market and gets his 45 mil per season.

Sources: #Dodgers talks with Freddie Freeman are intensifying. The sides remain in contact tonight on a deal that would bring the reigning World Series champ home to his native California. @MLB @MLBNetwork


My only hope is that whenever we make our signings there is no smoke that comes before it.

I don't believe that.

We're definitely still in the mix.

According to Morosi, Freeman expected to decide either tonight or tomorrow. Braves have the opportunity to match, he said "unclear" if they will, probably due to AA's no leaking FO.

BTW, I’m not sure there’s a more unreliable national reporter than Jon Morosi. He grasps at straws so he can do his TV appearances. So don’t freak out just yet

This is big if true, because I don't think the Braves can live it down if they let Freddie walk over to the Dodgers, considering how intertwined those two franchises have been over the last 4 years.

Especially can't let it happen when Liberty Media has already said how much money they've made from the World Series win.

We'll see. Morosi is the only one running w/this.
