"every time the braves do the chop it is like watching 9/11 happen again" -happy holidays from its always sunny
Obv a biased site, but the ideas wouldn’t surprise me: https://dodgerblue.com/mlb-rumors-freddie-freeman-contract-impatient-braves/2021/12/11/amp/ Spoiler The Los Angeles Dodgers lost two big free agents in Max Scherzer and Corey Seager prior to the MLB lockout, so once a new collective bargaining agreement is in place, they will have a lot of work to do to replace them. Freddie Freeman is among the top position players still available on the open market, and the Dodgers reportedly are one of the interested teams. Although most have assumed Freeman was a lock to re-sign with the Atlanta Braves and spend his entire career there, he did not reach an agreement with them because they were unwilling to offer him a sixth year in a contract. The Braves didn’t even offer Freeman a contract prior to the lockout, which caused him to become frustrated and could ultimately lead to him finding a new home, according to David Vassegh of AM 570 L.A. Sports Radio: “The Dodgers have now pivoted towards Orange County’s own Freddie Freeman. They are engaged in talks right now. What makes this all the more interesting is that Freddie Freeman, from my understanding of people close to him, he has grown very impatient with the Atlanta Braves. Because the Atlanta Braves were taking the strategy of waiting to see where the market goes before offering him a contract. “So to my knowledge, the Braves still have not formally offered Freddie Freeman any sort of free agent contract, which has made him grown impatient. And when a door closes, there’s another one that opens, and Andrew Friedman usually steps right through it.” If the Dodgers sign Freeman, it would allow Muncy to play second base while Trea Turner slides back to his natural position at shortstop. The 32-year-old has been among the most consistent superstars in baseball over the last decade, hitting .295/.384/.509 with a 138 wRC+ in 1565 career games. In 2020, Freeman was named the National League Most Valuable Player for hitting .341/.462/.640 with 13 home runs and a 186 wRC+ in 60 games played during the pandemic-shortened season. This past season, Freeman got off to a slow start by his standards but finished the year with a .300/.393/.503 slash line to go along with 31 home runs and a 135 wRC+. Wonder how much of it is also waiting to see if the universal DH becomes reality. If so, I would think a sixth year wouldn’t be nearly as much of an issue.
Only Alabama has a current Braves player. Lol at Tennessee’s being a disgraced legend from 100+ years ago.
Uh, why is the state of Mississippi so interested in Adalberto Mondesi? Have they been googling “who is adalberto Mondesi”
Just talked with my six year old nephew, and he said, “I may be a bitch. But, no way Clown Baby was able to tell that it was Mondesi in the picture without also making the tiny map large enough to clearly tell Mississippi is Mississippi and Louisiana is Louisiana. And I’m six.”
Didn’t mention it on this last call. But based on previous conversations, he thought RBG should have retired before he was born, so I don’t think he’d say it.
It’s funny to know every time the Braves call up their hottest prospect on the radio that CB thinks it’s Mississippi hot sauce
