The Dodgers landing Freddie Freeman in free agency has been an interesting series of events. Freddie spoke openly this week about how Atlanta treated him in negotiations, even sort of scoffing at Braves’ General Manager Alex Anthopoulos shedding tears when talking about losing him to Los Angeles.
Freeman spoke at length about how the Braves failed to communicate with him throughout the entire process. Meanwhile, the Dodgers and Andrew Friedman were constantly checking in to see where he was at.
Anthopoulos spoke (via The LA Times) about Freeman’s response to his emotions this week, and it sounds like he wants people to know it was genuine.
