Braves Mailbag: Freddie Freeman, backup plans, rotation and more

Thanks to everyone who sent in questions for this week’s mailbag! We will do it again soon. Let’s get to it!

At this point, isn’t the Freddie Freeman standoff a game of chicken where the Braves are likely to lose?

I don’t think so, at least not yet. The only thing that has really changed is that he is now a free agent and is free to sign anywhere. Freeman wasn’t mentioned a lot during the signing frenzy prior to the lockout. Reports were that most teams think that he will ultimately end up returning to Atlanta.
