The Dodgers were able to pry Freddie Freeman away from the Braves in free agency. But as it turns out, the Braves might have driven him there with their unwillingness to communicate. Freeman spoke openly about the process during his introductory press conference at Camelback Ranch yesterday.
But the Dodgers did offer him that lucrative 6th year as a part of the deal. It was clear Freddie was searching for that, and he got it with Los Angeles. The contract is set to pay out $162 million and will likely keep Freddie here for most of the remainder of his career.
