It could go either way.

It's being reported now that Freddie wants 6 for 180 which is the exact thing I said it would take months ago.
If that is accurate... the organization should give it to him... like immediately, before he changes his mind.

In the stupid money universe of pro sports, he’s worth it. |

That is not unreasonable for this marketplace. |

Nah, if they do not want to do a fair and reasonable thing to your best player why should I care
We got Arcia though and Kirby Yates - wow. Guess that is your closer for 2023 when Will Smith is done here.
Great -

I trust that this decision is above Alex's level. He answers to Mc Guirk and don't tell me the big two from LM do not have a say in this decision
Anyway, who knows what is going on but what Freddie's reported asking price is more than fair - its up to the powers that be

Yes, 6/$180 certainly seems like a fair price for Freddie. No doubt about it, BUT........what if he loses it in 3 years? Not saying that will happen (most likely it won't), but it does happen. I remember how Dale Murphy dropped off a cliff. He was traded to the Rox mostly to try and get his 400th homer, IIRC, and couldn't do it. He was below league average at age 33 and 34, bounced back a bit and was slightly above league average at age 35, but that was it. He was finished. He was the franchise icon, the All-American boy, the whole 9 yards, just like Freddie. Freddie puts up better numbers than Murphy did, too, which is certainly in his favor.
I WANT FREDDIE FREEMAN in a Braves uniform, but this decision is not as simple as it looks. Were he 2 or 3 years younger, it would be a no-brainer. At age 32, it's a little different. I mean, come on. $180 million is a LOT of money, Liberty is more business oriented than some other teams, and they're not just gonna throw around that much cash.

UH...OH!!! Braves, Rangers Interested In Matt Olson Braves are just doing their due diligence in the event that they don’t get a deal done with Freddie. Olson is not a bad plan B, but would be costly prospect wise. That being said - PAY THE MAN and make it a moot point. |
