3 Freddie Freeman destinations that would break Braves fans’ hearts
1. New York Yankees
There’s strength in numbers, which is why Yankees fans have come out of the woodworks to take over Twitter to talk about their dream free agent acquisitions.
Astros fans rankled at the idea of losing Justin Verlander to them, and there’s still theories abounding that Carlos Correa will be wearing pinstripes soon enough.
But losing Freeman to the New York Yankees? As much as the idea may pain Braves fans, the signing is something that could still take place.
Freeman’s reps have reportedly met with the Yankees already, and the New York team has made it clear they are inquiring about every available, quality free agent on the market.
If Freeman gets the contract he wants, he could play for a historic franchise that is hunting for the best free agent acquisitions.
The Yankees have been aggressively pursuing who is still available, and the sting of losing Verlander could prompt the Yankees to make Freeman a big offer.
While the Braves still have a great deal of pull with Freeman, he’s made it clear by refusing their initial offer that he is going to rally for his full value. And if the Yankees meet his needs, Freeman could potentially join Correa in pinstripes on the MLB’s winningest franchise.
