Post World Series 2021, Freddie Freeman was expected to re-sign with the Atlanta Braves, as the star himself had expressed his desire to stay with the team. However, with no deal between the two parties coming into play yet, one can assume there’s trouble in paradise.

Guiding the Braves to a World Series title, Freeman’s heroics are no secret. But chances are, his wonders might now be seen elsewhere, as offers from other teams begin to roll in.

Toronto Blue Jays contacted Freeman before the lockout

32-year-old Freddie Freeman entered free agency as one of the biggest stars. Notably, Freeman was expected to sign a huge deal with Braves, as the two had an incredible run together in 2021. However, with no offers from the Braves, other rich franchises like the New York Yankees might now take a shot at securing the star player. Although, they’re not the only ones.

A new report claims that Toronto Blue Jays have already made a move to cut a deal with Freeman. Reporter Shi Davidi wrote, ”Freeman, obviously, didn’t sign before the shutdown and his fate won’t be decided until there’s a new CBA, and the expectation remains that he ends up back in Atlanta. But, the Blue Jays did meet with his representatives prior to the lockout and as they do on virtually every player who fits a need, checked on the first baseman”

According to another report, even Los Angeles Dodgers had contacted Freeman before the lockout. While teams contacting players in free agency is common, the Braves’ future with Freeman doesn’t look as optimistic as before.
