Freeman said he is “working through some issues” with his agents but wouldn’t elaborate. He did say he now has closure on his time with the Braves.
DENVER — Freddie Freeman’s emotional weekend in Atlanta is over. But the fallout from his departure continues.
Freeman also said he had “learned a lot” about what went on between Braves management and his agents during an offseason fractured by MLB’s lockout. He has said he had a “three-hour Facetime” conversation with Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos in the week after signing with the Dodgers that gave him a better understanding of why things played out the way they did – even though he had expressed to his agents a preference for re-signing with the Braves.
“Everybody is going to perceive how they want to perceive,” he said. “I spent 15 years with the Atlanta Braves. I wasn’t going to try and be a macho man about my feelings about how I had a great time with the Atlanta Braves. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called the comment a “flippant remark” by Kershaw that has been overblown.
