Hadn't noticed that Goldschmidt again has had a mediocre at best first half. 101 wRC+.
Can't make the Cardinals feel too good a year away from his five year extension kicking in.
Braves seriously need to be careful with Freeman.

I get your point. But it's going to be a very tough decision from the Braves standpoint from a PR perspective, especially if Freeman is still producing at a high level at the end of the deal. He's the face of the team and by all indications wants to be here forever. He also appears to be on the path to having his number retired here. It will be interesting how this plays out.

Freeman seems genuinely interested in being a brave forever. I think if we are even just reasonable, he will remain with us.
Coppy
I know team friendly deals and hometown discounts seem to be the a thing of the past. But based on everything we know about Freeman, he just strikes me as a person who would do what he has to do to stay here because this is where he wants to be, and it makes sense for him and his family. Let's not forget he's also close friends with Chipper, who did the same.
Nationals rained out. Play a double header on Wednesday. Hope this screws up their rotation for when we face them next week.
