Braves News: First Base Unknowns Continue to Creep In

We have officially moved away from the stresses of missing a baseball season and moved onto stresses of Freddie Freeman joining another franchise. The Braves never escaped the conversation of pursuing Freddie Freeman, but other teams have shown interest with good reason. The Yankees and Dodgers, per usual, have entered the conversation and join the Braves as the leading names for one of the biggest free agents heading into the 2022 season.

If the Braves let Freeman walk, Matt Olson becomes the next option. Olson, who was formerly in Oakland, has stellar numbers but comes at an extremely high price.
