Freddie Freeman visited Atlanta in recent days, and his reaction of affection for the Braves franchise was genuine. The Los Angeles Dodgers' first baseman cried and thanked the badge for all the moments they experienced and the 2021 championship.
According to journalist Doug Gotlieb from Fox Sports, the player's agent never informed him of the Braves' counter offer to the Dodgers.
Faced with this situation and not knowing about the offer from his former team, Freeman signed with the Dodgers and left Atlanta aside without knowing that the Braves wanted the infielder to continue on the team.
Casey Close, Freeman's former agent, was fired by the player in this situation. It is speculated that Atlanta's offer was for five years and 140 million dollars, while the one he signed with the Californian team was for six seasons and 162 million in salary.
Taking this into account, Freeman would indeed have decided to continue with the team of his love, the Atlanta Braves, due to the similarity of the offers.
