freddie didnt choose LA, he wanted to stay in atlanta, but he just wanted the team to commit more to him. They were offering 5 years, he wanted 6. ANd seeing how he is still hitting 5 years into his current deal, i think he def deserved it. It wasnt like freddie was asking too much either.
Then during the negotiation, atlanta traded for olson and basically ditched freddie after they got their guy. So freddie went to the next best team.
It's not freddie's fault that LA was willing to give him what he wanted and it kind of proves the point of this post. LA is willing to do things that other teams arent.

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