What happened?

Im sure when you look at long run when teams get rid of their 'franchise' player who still commands an elite salary who is in 30s...it turned out just fine for them.

I dont see the ccardinals losing out on Pujols to the Angels was horrible.....Tulowiski to the Blue Jays? Nomar to the Cubs?

people like to chime in early and later on they tend to look silly. (how can freeman leaving braves make sense today....) ..let it play out, we will look at this post years from now and see the deal is far from terrible for the braves...if olson isnt good they can bring someone else in as well for faaar cheaper... i think they offered a 6 year deal for freddie..so we are on YEAR 1...and it doesnt even look bad now...

Elway never won the big game..until won 2... let it play out..

If Freeman didnt want to leave Atlanta, he could of easily not left....why wait til the last minute...if WANTed to not leave the braves..would not have been hard too..... all these false narratives now..money is money.....theres a lot of paperwork and time spent before you can really leave...you have to do a LOT of effort to leave..


hes in the facility most days..did he say 'hey want do you need to make it work' 'hey agent, make sure i am with braves' When he was given the contract to sign for the Dodgers, he could of said 'hey i dont want to leave'

its not like the braves made a terrible offer.....

'Pay your fair share' 'Want to leave' always up to interpretation, but we do know the offer he was given by the braves ...if he WANTED to be with braves he would of been a Brave, period.


Im sure Tony Gwynn and cal ripken almost left' a few times but they did not WANT to leave..whatever it took

very good point.
and sadly the braves offer was not the best for him and he took the money from LA.

Either location is great for him. He moves from 1 big spending winning team to another. Both teams have great culture of winning.

Hopefully he kept the balance with the quality of life for his family.
