GLENDALE, Ariz. -- For new Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, the unthinkable started to become a reality last season as the face of the Atlanta Braves for 12 years began to contemplate life on another team with Atlanta just not showing the interest he desired.
"As the season went on, there were no talks, so you figure this is what was going to happen," Freeman said Friday. "When you get to free agency, all things are kind of off."
And when he got there, Atlanta's interest didn't exactly increase.
