This, however, is nothing to say for interest from other parties that were initially in on the first baseman too. Not the least among them, the most successful team in baseball, the New York Yankees. However, Heyman did admit that with the time passing, this seemed like an uphill task for the pinstripes and not just on account of geographical reasons.

Free agency in baseball is a fickle mistress and you never know when the fortunes will flip. But where do you think Freeman will end up in 2022? Will he re-sign with the title-winning Braves? Or move to greener pastures (pun intended)?
