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.
