We have rumors and we have rumors being shot down. Then we have curious interpretations of what might constitute a “discussion”. If we believe Ken Rosenthal, then the Braves “have indeed shopped… Freddie Freeman” and that nugget was “the talk of the Arizona Fall League” at the beginning of the month. Not Thursday when Andrelton Simmons was traded. Not this weekend. Two weeks ago.
Then we have the local reporters, Dave O’Brien particularly included, who are saying things similar to what Bill Shanks did this morning.
