I want to start this piece off by saying even though there’s a new report out there that makes it seem likely Freddie Freeman will hit free agency at year’s end rather than agree to an extension with the Braves, it still feels unlikely he won’t be playing in Atlanta in 2022 and beyond. But then again, I never thought Anthony Rizzo would play for any other team but the Chicago Cubs – and we all know how that went.
There are a ton of different aspects that come to play when thinking about the Cubs making a hypothetical run at Freeman this winter.
