The Dodgers, Yankees, and Braves have been the three prominent teams in the Freddie Freeman conversation. On Monday, it was reported that an off-the-radar franchise made the superstar first baseman an offer prior to the lockout.
Sources: The low-revenue Tampa Bay Rays made superstar Freddie Freeman an offer before the lockout. Yankees very interested. Jays, Dodgers, others could fit. It’s a surprise Braves didn’t lock him up before lockout; they remain in mix. (New daily feature: actual baseball news)

Heyman’s news on Freeman was a surprise, since, as he notes, the Rays are rarely in on high-priced free agents.
