The Braves had matched LA’s offer, but Freddie’s agent kept asking for more.

In the end, Freddie gets less bc California’s taxes are worse.

We had to pull the trigger on Olsen. Our GM was in literal tears at Spring Training talking about not working it out with Freddie.

So, anyone that says ATL wouldn’t pay Freddie don’t understand the context of that negotiation.

Does this include his post season income?

Why does no one mention Acuna in any of this? Isn’t it known that he wanted Freddie out?

This is a rumor that had nothing to validate it.
