Freddie Freeman is one of the most desirable pieces currently available on the market and the great powers of the Major Leagues are waiting for the lockout to be lifted to approach the North American and seduce him with dizzying economic offers that show their current value.
Likewise, ESPN reporter Buster Olney once again hinted that the chances of seeing the powerful first baseman in a team other than the Atlanta Braves grow even more and more when both parties did not reach an agreement to extend his contract after the Major League championship celebration
The management of the Atlanta Braves offered Freeman a contract for five years and 135 million dollars. However, the star of 32 years is looking for a pact that ensures him to belong to an organization for six years minimum.
Another key point that could take the Californian to a team other than the Braves is the decision to have the universal designated hitter, a movement that gives any ninth the opportunity to bid for its services; because Freeman could take turns between the first and the designated hitter in any commitment.
Olney, placed the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers as the teams with the greatest potential to win the services of one of the best hitters in baseball. In the first instance, the “Mulos del Bronx” want to destroy the league with Freeman’s power and even more so when the small size of Yankee Stadium favors him.
However, the Yankees’ high command, led by Brian Cashman are also interested in Carlos Correa, who is looking for a contract of more than 295 million dollars and It also remains to be seen if Aaron Judge is offered an extension.
Regarding the Dodgers, the famous reporter of ESPN reiterated that they are going to enter the bidding obligatorily to take Freeman to his ci and more to respond to the movements of the New York Mets.
Despite knowing how accurate the monetary proposal and for years, the blues could bet firmly on a four-year contract and 140 million dollars. Not bad to seduce a player who is entering the second stage of his career.
Freeman played twelve seasons with the Atlanta Braves and in that time he connected 1,550 four hits, including 550 doubles, 25 triples and 271 home runs. In addition to having driven a total of 704 races and has an average of .295.
Finally, in his list of winners he has a World Series ring, a Gold Glove, three Silver Sluggers and National League Most Valuable Player. Not forgetting that he has attended five All-Star Games throughout his career.
