Freddie Freeman Agreeing to $162 Million Contract With Dodgers Has Braves Fans Emotional

Freddie Freeman will not be playing for the Atlanta Braves as he reportedly agreed to a six-year, $162 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This move had Braves fans emotional since Freeman was the heart and soul of the team for the last decade. Also, with the Braves winning the World Series last year, fans are not happy Freeman won't be with the team to defend the title. 

"I'm so glad my family got to be apart of yours!" Freeman said in an Instagram post to Braves fans.  To [Braves manage Brian Snitker], my coaches, teammates, training staff, clubhouse staff, and everyone who made Turner Field and Truist Park so special for my family and I over the years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has been a blast to have you cheer for me and I hope I was able to bring smiles to a lot of your homes over the years. I gave everything I had day in and day out and I hope you guys saw that as well." The Braves won't be empty-handed at first base as they traded for rising star Matt Olson. But fans showed their anger about Freeman no longer being a member of the Braves.
