Quotes from Freddie Freeman interview they just played on MLB Network:

 

"the communication wasn't all there" with the Braves

 

"I got two phone calls from the Braves all off season. One just before the lockout started and one after it lifted. Just checking in"

 

"I got more calls from Andrew (Freidman) in two hours then I got from the Braves all off season"

 

Wow. Sounds like they had no real plan to bring him back at all.

Sounds like AA was under specific directives not to really even try. Too bad, but I guess Atlanta is happy with the title, will up the prices on everything this year due to the hype and go back to be being a middling club that might luck into the expanded playoffs because their division is a joke.

 

But, at least they got Rosario back. /sarcasm

So what the hell was AA crying about when reporters asked him about Freeman leaving?

It’s still emotional bringing Old Yeller in the backyard

AA is two faced bitch. We know this

[connorp]

You guys are both lawyers. You should admire him

[InsideThePark]

Wouldn't AA be communicating mostly with his agent anyway? There was a rumored offer both ways.

[Terminator]

Lol ok that was good

[TwistedLogic]

Speaking of AA, the Braves just signed Kenley Jansen.

[Jays24]

 

Jon Heyman

@JonHeyman

 

Superstar SS Trevor Story choosing one of 4 teams soon. Giants, Red Sox and 2 others remain in mix. Prioritizing winning. Apparently considering a short-term positional move, if necessary.

Springer

Bo

Vlad

Teo

Chapman (he will be back to 2019 form)

Story

G-Snarls... Chapman hit 27 bombs last year, also did you lock that thread by accident? lol

[Spanky99]

 

 

What was the second tweet?

s***

 

No don't think it was me but I'll unlock it

[Ehjays]

It was saying Story would take a huge discount to play on Rangers

[Spanky99]

Oh, guess it was BS.

[Ehjays]

Oh, guess it was BS.

 

yeah guess so, i was trying to remember who it was from, I think it was from Nightengale. But he was sure it was goin down, I guess he plays 3rd if he goes there. We shall see.

[Spanky99]

That Castellanos signing was 5/100... Welp.

[Stangstag]

 

Wow

[RobinThicc]

Crazy stuff.

 

I figured he get 330 no problem.

[dineke]

His back must be really f***ed up.

[Stangstag]

This is actually hilarious that the Twins dumped Donaldson to the Yankees so they could afford to sign Correa.

 

Why exactly didn’t the Yankees sign Correa and just keep Gio?? They had a need at SS and don’t have any other infielders signed long-term, and the only anchor contract they hold right now is Stanton

[43211234]

It seems crazy that Correa would forgo $200M on that Orioles offer to sign this deal. Maybe he ends up making more but that is one hell of a bet. Maybe he just didn't want to play for the O's.

[Spanky99]

It's still 35+ AAV with opt outs.

[Stangstag]

I’d be so pissed as an Orioles fan. GM is probably mad too and Angelos must be fuming.

This may be the single most unexpected free agent deal I've seen. Literally out of nowhere.

Or Detroit. s***** ass cities...

He turned down 10 years 275M from the Tigers before the lockout
