Freddie Taking A Discount?
If the reports are true, he’s doing the organization a HUGE favor in free agency.
With Freddie being priority No. 1 for Alex Anthopoulos & Co., the majority of free agent signings this offseason will be determined by how much is left in the budget after Freeman’s share is deducted. And rightfully so. Freddie’s earned every penny he’ll get from Atlanta, in a deal that should take him to retirement or right to it’s doorstep.
Yesterday afternoon/evening, David O’Brien (Braves writer for the Athletic) told Carl Dukes & Mike Bell of 929 The Game in Atlanta that he believes Freddie Freeman will ask for a contract in a relatively cheap price range.
