Braves look awful for waiting to re-sign Freddie Freeman

The Atlanta Braves have waited way too long to get Freddie Freeman a contract extension. 

Freddie Freeman is a huge reason as to why the Atlanta Braves are headed back to the NLCS, but he’ll also be sought after by just about anyone and everyone once this season is over. And that’s because his team’s front office waited way too long to get Freeman an extension.

Freeman just launched a home run that helped eliminate the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS Game 4. When considering how he played tonight and how Freeman is coming up on the end of his eight-year, $135 million contract it’s time for the Braves to pay him whatever he wants.

Watch that home run again. How can this team not go out and offer their 32-year-old first baseman an absurd amount of money to keep him?

It’s past time for the Atlanta Braves to pay NLDS game 4 hero Freddie Freeman

Atlanta definitely needs to go ahead and pay Freeman. The talented first baseman been a key reason for his team’s success all season. His stellar play has been monumental in getting Atlanta to this point where it can potentially win a pennant and get back to the World Series for the first time since 1999.

While it remains to be seen what Atlanta will do in the NLCS when the Braves meet the winner of the Dodgers-Giants series and also what they may offer to Freeman once free agency rolls around, Freeman has made it clear that he’s happy where he is. Now it’s time for Atlanta to reward Freeman’s loyalty and incredible talent.
