There’s not too many people who think Freddie Freeman is ever leaving the Atlanta Braves.
However, if the Braves want to keep their MVP first baseman, they will apparently have to try harder, as Freeman has turned down a five-year offer from the team.

It could have simply been a first offer, and like many hitters do, they never swung at the first pitch. And in this case, Freeman wasn’t jumping at the first offer.
The 32-year old Freeman is coming off one of his best seasons, hitting .300 with 31 home runs and 83 RBI. Freeman was also as clutch as it got in the playoffs and especially in the World Series, where he hit .318 with two homers and five RBI.

Freeman said after the World Series that he wants to remain a Brave and the organization wants him, so it’s a matter of the two sides agreeing to a number they are both comfortable with.
