Freddie has spent his days with Freeman's Brewers

Then this opportunity is important news for another team

Freeman has been replaced by Toronto

The 32-year-old dropped to .300 / .393 / .503 with 31 homers last season

[{"selector":"#anim-97f2232e-bcab-4fd5-95b3-2a57241c4e10 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Atlanta looked for an opportunity to lock up Freeman during the season and after the 2021 World Series title

[{"selector":"#anim-004360dd-f204-47d8-8e3f-73e4eb1f0c77 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.466542007104913%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Atlanta allegedly offered Freeman 13 135 million over five years

[{"selector":"#anim-6496e734-7562-43cc-875f-d238e9232755 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Paul Goldsmith took the contract (five years, $ 130 million) and added $ 1 million in one year

[{"selector":"#anim-414694df-4c2b-450c-976c-ca83b9eff13c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.429687381248105%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

From an accounting standpoint, this makes sense.

The Braves are taking two important years of Olson instead of acknowledging the danger of the downside of Freeman's career - which has yet to be revealed
