Freeman was born and raised in Southern California and has chosen to live there rather than Atlanta in the off-season for several years, this is 100% his choice.

Uh, no.


PHOENIX — Freddie Freeman was working out in a gym with his father Monday morning when the news broke across his phone. He stared in utter disbelief, speechless. He didn’t know whether to cry or scream or both.

"He was in shock," father Fred Freeman said. "He said, 'I can’t believe it. Why didn’t they tell me? How did this happen? Out of nowhere, they didn’t tell me they were moving on. How does that happen?' "

The Atlanta Braves had just traded for Oakland A’s All-Star first baseman Matt Olson, abruptly ending Freeman’s 11-year tenure in Atlanta.

Freeman was so stunned that his father accompanied him home, and the entire family sat together for the next two hours, with Freeman’s wife, Chelsea, the kids and everyone in tears.

Just heard this from the man himself on WSB radio: “Being at home and with my family was the deciding factor”. I’ll take him at his word. ETA: WSB radio just played another soundbite from Freeman that I will paraphrase: “When it came down to it I wanted my 67 year old Dad and 87 year old Grandfather to see me play”. Believe what you want to believe, Freeman is an Los Angeles Dodger because that’s what he wants be, if I was in his shoes I would have done the same exact thing.

He seems to be saying a lot of things. Not all consistent.

Whatever. Good guy. Wish him well.
