LA Dodgers Set to Upset New York Yankees for Freddie Freeman Signature as MLB Lockout Ends

With the lockout finally coming to an end, now the free agency in MLB has been activated. Because of three months of work stoppage in Major League Baseball, no team was in a position to negotiate any deal with free agents. Talking about free agents, Freddie Freeman is yet to join any team.

Notably, the next few weeks are going to be wild in the MLB market, as there are lots of players who do not have any contract with any team. But many believe that Freddie Freeman will be the first major free agent to sign after the lockout.

Freddie Freeman, to end up at the Los Angeles Dodgers?

Notably, after the end of the lockout, the first and foremost thing for any team will be to get desired free agents. And when it comes down to Freddie Freeman, the LA Dodgers are leading the race to sign him.

But that does not mean, he will end up at the Dodgers. Because apart from the Dodgers, the New York Yankees and his former team Atlanta Braves are also in the race to get Freeman by their side.

According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Dodgers have some serious interest in Freeman, while the Braves and Yankees also have their eye on him. Morosi also said that Freeman might be the first major free agent to sign after the lockout.

Taking to his Twitter, he shared the news with baseball fans. “Dodgers interest in Freddie Freeman is sincere, based on what I have heard from sources tonight. Braves and Yankees obviously are prominent in the Freeman marketplace. Some in the industry believe he could be next major free agent to sign.”

Though there is no official announcement regarding the contract of Freddie Freeman, the Braves’ fans would want their star to stay at their side. Because, ever since making his MLB debut in 2010, Freddie Freeman has never played for any other team.
