Joshua once stated he was a Freddie Freeman fan. Well he should be proud of him after this year’s performance! What a clutch hitter! And great first baseman!

I saw the entire run. He had agreed to take less money to stay in ATL. The brain trust let him go due to his age.

I hope this elevates his HOF resume.

Great series by the FreeeeMan!

What people miss or forget about Freeman is the man hits when you need a hit. There is not a lot of swing and miss. He makes rallies. Where someone like his ATL replacement will kill a rally w a strikeout.

Sure fun to watch.

NY’s Offense was very dangerous. However, the series demonstrated the overall better team LA Dodgers were.

At least, it was not the Mets.

100%

One of the best clutch hitters ever. Atlanta was nuts.

After this WS…is definitely HOF bound.

Plus the fact that there were several hard hit grounders to 1st like happens a lot at 3rd. The man looked like a 25 year old SS fielding them.

When the Braves finished breaking down the team and sending WA caliber players here there, and yonder Freddie Freemsn wanted and did stay.

Freddie Freeman went to the organization and asked that Snitker be retained as manager after Snitker’s interim year. Now, Snitker and the Braves have as many WS as Bobby Cox’s teams did.

Freddie Freeman’s agent wanted 6 years. Freeman came below 160 million to stay. The Braves did not want to pay him for 6 years. The agent did not take anything back to Freeman, the Braves’ brain trust decided to move on wo even negotiating, Freensn was left holding the bag. There is a lot of talk that Acuna did not appreciate Freeman being the face of the Franchise. There was a locker room incident where Freeman tried to correct some of Acuna’s habits. Acuna did not want to listen.

This was stupid on many levels:

A) Three years in Freeman is a WS MVP,
B) Three years in and Freeman has been a MVP candidate and 3x All Star,
C) Assuming, Braves gave Freeman 6 years and anywhere between years 3-6 the bottom fell out of the team (like this year) Freeman’s contract would be movable;
D) I am sorry you can say business all you want, Freeman in ATL was good business. He is a model pro athlete that makes a franchise money on his professionalism. Deep playoff runs make money;
E) Acuna cannot stay healthy, and the Braves were a better team and won a WS wo him;
F) I watch every Braves game somehow every year. There is too much swing and miss and bad pitcher bearing up in the Braves lineup. Freeman puts the ball against good to great pitching on the grass for RBIs;
And
G) His defense is elite at the position.

I will never understand why this brain trust instead of crying of 20 million dollars or 2 extra years do not take players like Freeman aside and say. Here are your years. We will say 4,6,8 whatever we are going to pay you 15 percent less than you ask, but what we are going to do is give you X amount of stock. That way no matter what happens you and we are vested with each other.

Jeter did it when he his group bought the Marlins. It worked out well for him financially. My old Boss did it when he was cooperate, general counsel for Pepsi and a large bank.

We hear about when you pay these guys X hundred million dollars, you make them partners. Well, everyone needs to smarten up played and organizations and use stock to make a real partnership.

If I owned a franchise, I couldn’t imagine a better person to be the face of the organization than Freddie Freeman. He represents the type of athlete that I try to get my son to model after. He seems a genuinely good person.
