Former Braves All-Star Freddie Freeman reportedly agreed to a six-year deal with the Dodgers in free agency.
, the Braves offered Freeman a five-year, $140 million deal, but the first baseman was seeking a six-year contract.
Now, the 32-year-old Freeman joins the team Atlanta beat in the NLCS en route to its 2021 World Series triumph. This also marks a homecoming for Freeman, who is from Villa Park in Orange County, Calif. The Dodgers saw Corey Seager depart Los Angeles for the Texas Rangers earlier this offseason, but the addition of Freeman certainly eases that loss. Los Angeles can insert Freeman into a loaded lineup that boasts the likes of Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, Max Muncy, Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, Chris Taylor and Will Smith.
The Freeman deal isn’t the only big move the Dodgers made since the MLB lockout ended either, as Los Angeles on a one-year, $17 million deal last week. Closer Kenley Jansen is now the Dodgers’ biggest remaining unsigned free agent.
