BRADENTON, Fla. — One couldn’t help but wonder if David Freese’s incendiary comments at the start of spring training meant he wanted out of Pittsburgh.
Does he?
“Oh, no, that’s the furthest from the truth,” Freese said earlier this week. “I want to be here. They know that. They knew that before the comments came out. I guess the one thing I will say is the stuff I said, that’s not the first time I’ve said it. I didn’t come out of nowhere with those comments. But to answer your question, I definitely want to be here.
