Wow, I already miss Freddie. I’m saying this because he won’t be back if Matt Olson is there. I wish him the best for the rest of his career, and for him to stay healthy
Chipper Jones told Freddie that if you want to be a Brave, you'll be a Brave. We are very happy with Matt Olson, 54 HR and 139_RBI. Both Braves records. Freddie never had those numbers.
You were such a great player in the Oakland A's Matt Olson!!! Good luck being in the Atlanta Braves and I could see you Olson at Oracle Park in September 2022!!!

Really disappointed and sad that Freddie is not coming back, but Olson is about as good of a replacement that you can get. I speak for all of Braves Country when I say this, but I hope Freddie will be successful wherever he goes and that he stays healthy.
If Freddie wanted to be a Brave so bad he would be a Brave! You can't make him sign a contract if he doesn't want too! The Braves made the right choice in not tying up big money to a 32 year old First baseman when Dansby, Max, Riley, and the young core's contracts start to come up so this was a smart decision!
@@nicholasmallard2926 I totally agree this was a smart move and I feel like Freeman could stay and not be so greedy and accept the offer we gave him but now days players want more and more money and it's not because they want the money it's because they have such a big ego they think it's entitled to them or won't be respected by anyone in the league.
@@kerryhoward804 wondering if you really know what was offered and turned down or you just assume? Can';t blame a man for trying to get what he is worth.
@@kerryhoward804 he wasn't beeing greedy money wasn't the problem , the dispute was the amount of years freddie wanted so he could run out the contract and retire as a braves. But management didn't want to get stuck paying a 38 year old player such a high amount every year, do some research before you accuse freddie of an ego and being greedy
@@johnblze667 I believe your correct , it was the years on the contract. I think if he took 5 instead of the 6 and just a bit more a year he would still be in Atlanta. Also we got a good player , but giving him 8 years what I heard is kind of a slap in the face. That long of a contract is a gamble in my mind...5 ...6 at the most.
Oakland actually got a pretty good return from Atlanta in this trade. It is pretty devastating known that we’ll never see Freddie Freeman play another game in a Braves uni tho
Pache won't pan out. He can't hit. Langeliers is the best of the bunch and will be a starting catcher. But there's no guarantee he becomes the All-Star Olson is. Lots of potential though.
@@SamuelJ888 The scouting report on Cusick sounds legit who can touch 102 mph. Langeliers is a good offensive catcher and an even better defensive catcher. Estes was a couple years younger than the competition he was facing and dominated. Pache is one of the best defensive outfielder prospects who could learn how to hit.
Bro....as a braves fan....I can tell you right now this was as fair a trade.....the 3 prospects yall got are all top 15 😓your teams bout to be nice 💯💯if it was up to me....I'd gladly keep the young studs
Smart move from Atlanta. Didnt want to give a 32 year old a long term deal, understandably. Instead traded for a 27 year old stud who's still getting better.
braves fan here, i’m super big on pache and langeliers as well as cusick. pache bat obviously needs work but his defense is some of the best you’ll see. Langeliers is almost mlb ready so unfortunately for you guys I feel like sean murphy is gone, but langeliers has amazing upside. Cusick if he works in his command is gonna be awesome also, this trade is bittersweet for all teams involved but I think everyone got a good return.
@@beginn_tempooo2920 Yeah, Cusick is a huge flamethrower and showed promising command improvement in his first taste of the minors, albeit a small sample size. I also like the younger guy Estes who was dominating the competition even though he is a couple years younger than the league average. I don’t think Pache will ever be great offensively, but he is the best defensive outfield prospect today. We are honestly going to have one of the fastest and best defensive outfield with Barrera in LF Pache in CF and Laureano in RF (where he needs to be) I’m big on Langeliers too. He’s a good offensive catcher and an even better defensive catcher. I think the A’s will hang on to Murphy at least one more season and have Langeliers as the backup until he can handle being the starting catcher.

To go from Chipper and Freddie to Austin and Matt, I like like the Braves future.. Will always be a Freddie fan, even if he goes to the one of the evil empires.
I Love Baseball but I Hate the Business of Sports. We pretty much got the same guy with more power and a little less Bat IQ. I'm an Atlanta native Matt's our Guy he's a star too but DAMN jus damn Good Luck Number 5 the greatest FB we ever had
It looks like Freddie took the same deal the Braves originally offered him to move out to LA. GREAT guy but was always West coast at heart. I bet he'll thrive as a Dodger.
Freddie was asking for to much money 💰 yes as a braves fan freeman will be missed but we in good hands with Olsen plus we have Ozzie,acuna, Riley, Swanson in plenty of more good players I think we gone be just fine imo
He wanted six years and I think Braves would have gone to $180 mil. Look at the Pujols deal. He was hitting .285 first year with Angels at age 32 (Freddie's age) and went down to .245 in 6 years. Olson is about to turn 28 and has 2 years on his deal. Braves can extend him and still have money to sign Acuna and Albies when they hit their prime.
@@joshuawatts1924 yeah good point. And freddie probably the best we'll get. Interested to see how many years they offer him tho. I can see like 3yrs opt for 4th yr
I remember losing Glavine to the Mets years ago. The sting never goes away but it braces you to be more objective about the real reason the game is played...money. Sad but true.

Goodness gracious Olson hits moon shots
Welcome to Atlanta, Matt. Happy to have you and can't wait to see what this year brings.
Smart trade by the Braves. Olson had a better 2021 than Freddie and is 4 years younger. Also, a 2-time gold glove winner
I love Freddie Freeman but if you ask me, the MVP of the Braves last year was Austin Riley. He's young and hungry. Give Riley a huge contract.
Oakland actually got a pretty good return from Atlanta in this trade. It is pretty devastating known that we’ll never see Freddie Freeman play another game in a Braves uni tho
Yeah I’m pretty happy with the return.
More than happy with Olson coming to the A!😎 Welcome home ATLien!
Unless we get a CY young contender or a two way player, i would say Atlanta robbed us

The A’s are basically a major league farm system for the rest of the MLB
Especially the Yankees of all teams.
Gotta include Tampa bay there in that category
That occasionally has better seasons than other MLB teams.
