Report: There is "growing belief" around the industry that Freddie Freeman will not return to the Atlanta Braves. Here's why the Mets should jump.
When free agency first began back in November, the initial perception was that first baseman Freddie Freeman wasn't going anywhere.
Freeman, who had just helped the Atlanta Braves capture a World Series title in 2021, surely wasn't going to bolt from the only team he has ever known in his 12-year big-league career.
But not so fast. The Braves dragged their feet prior to the lockout, and now plans may change after the work stoppage is over.
