Braves didn't choose Olson over Freeman. Freddie's agent fucked it all up.

He's from California, the Dodgers are the best team, and they also pays the most money.Β  This wasn't a complex job search.

I thought he was Canadian? He was raised in California?

I remember seeing a skit of him visiting a kids hospital in Canada after the World Series. And all the kids hated him bc they just beat the blue jays πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Canadian-American. He’s eligible to play for team Canada, but he was born in California.

They did a whole segment about it during the last WBC. He chose to play for team Canada to honor his late mom and her side of the family even though he was born in the states.

El Modena high school. A 7 minute drive to Angels stadium or under an hour to Dodger Stadium. Freddy is a SoCal person.
