The MLB lockout has not only made fans impatient, but players also want their teams to sign their favorite free agents. One of the top free agents left in the market is the 2021 World Series fame, Freddie Freeman.

The Braves failed to re-sign him before the lockout; however, they will still have their shot once the lockout is uplifted. Freeman’s former teammate openly requested the Braves to re-sign him.

Tyler Matzek openly sends a message to his team

2021 became a historical year for Atlanta Braves as the team stunned the world by clinching their first-ever title in the 21st century. Notably, it was the heroics of players like Freddie Freeman, who produced an incredible performance for the team.

Interestingly, Freeman became a free agent for the 2022 season. While he had hinted at his desire to go back to his former team, no conclusions were reached before the lockout. Although Braves also has an interest in re-signing him, their star pitcher, Tyler Matzek, wants to make sure his team prioritizes Freeman.

Throwing back to his experience with Freeman, Tyler Matzek tweeted saying, ”Fun fact, @FreddieFreeman5 was my first strike out. Almost everyday I see him, I remind him he’s #1 in my book.” He further added a hashtag, ”#resignfreddie”

After his stellar run in 2021, his high demand for free agency was expected. However, the teams were skeptical if he would want to switch from the Braves.

Notably, some teams like Los Angeles Dodgers had already approached him before the lockout. If the Braves want to re-sign Freddie, they will have to be aggressive and quick in their talks with him once the lockout is over.
