To see Freddie Freeman in the colors of the Dodgers is still a bit special. After all, he is identified with the Braves and we saw him coming back to Atlanta.
But just because the guy left the Eastern Division doesn’t mean he’s going to stop being interested in it.
Freddie Freeman, who will represent Canada at the World Classic, recently declared himself in favor of the Steve Cohen method, which seems to want to buy a championship like the Bronx Bombers once did.
In his eyes, it’s a good thing: it shows that the owner wants to win as much as the fans.
Often, Cohen is criticized (like Peter Seidler in San Diego, by the way), but the Dodgers player believes that it should not be seen as such.
Seeing Cohen being a fan of the ball and his team pleases Freeman. His comments were reported to Cohen himself.
I’ll take it.
– Steve Cohen regarding the compliment from Freddie Freeman
I wonder if the Mets attempted to sign Freeman last winter, when he laid down ink on paper to spend the next six years in his native California.
Freeman is not angry to see that and one wonders if he is angry to have seen his team borrow the opposing strategy. Remember that LA has cut a little fat this winter.
The first baseman assures that not since his club still has one of the largest payrolls in MLB, even if we are talking about $ 50 million less than in 2022.
With a projected mass of $244 million, the Dodgers are not to be pitied and there are still big stars in the club’s locker room… and next year, there could be Shohei Ohtani.
But right now, Freeman likes what he sees and he believes his club has a chance to go a long way regardless.
It remains to be seen what this will bring.
