If you haven’t heard the news by now, you probably don’t follow baseball. Fresh off an emotional homecoming weekend series in Atlanta, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman set the baseball world on fire yet again when news broke that he was switching agents.
According to a Tuesday report by ESPN’s Buster Olney, Freeman was “angry” with how Excel Sports Management, and his agent, Casey Close, handled his free agency negotiations with the Atlanta Braves. Freddie released a statement about the change and cited “issues” with his longtime agent at Excel.
Fox Sports Radio’s Doug Gottlieb reported on Wednesday the pinpoint moment in the saga of Freeman’s free agency that led to Freddie Freeman firing close.
