Wow

[Mad Dog Murph]

What a dirtbag. The timing of the firing makes sense now.

[Garmel]

Can Freeman take legal action against him?

[zbhargrove]

Can Freeman take legal action against him?

Doubtful… sounds like this is pretty common.

[Hudson2]

No wonder he was upset. He said he was completely stunned when he heard we traded for Olson. I see why he was mad at AA at the time but now he can’t be.

Excel represents Tiger Woods…I’d say they don’t give a sh*t about this.

[Heyward]

I'm still okay with how everything played out, but thats crazy.

Lol this is Braves message board that’s discussing how Freeman was affected by this. Nobody is talking about Excel.

Still lots of mixed emotions with this whole situation.

Love Freddie. I worked as a bat boy for the Gwinnett Braves for the first homestand he was with Gwinnett before I moved to the visiting clubhouse. He was awesome to work with. I was mad at the way that he left and kind of held a grudge. But with the report coming out that his agent hid the Braves final offer, it makes the situation that much worse. Still some blame on Freddie, because he easily could have called AA himself.

When you pay an agent/agency a million(s) to represent you, you shouldn’t have to call the GM to make sure your getting all the information. Hence the problem

[CrimsonCowboy]

I have to wonder a bit though: What did the Dodgers know?

[Carp]

Anyone ready to eat crow on Freddie? Seems he isn't the Scrooge many of you made him out to be.

He's just naïve.

[Carp]

He's just naïve.

Would you not trust your real estate broker to do right by you? Wouldn't you be super pissed if they didn't tell you about an offer for your house, especially if it was a deal you would likely have accepted?

I forgive him. He’s a victim of mismanagement.

His agent got him the higher dollar/value contract.

Let's not pretend Freddie was gonna accept below market value to stay with us. The deal he purportedly would have accepted from us was still above market value.

Whereas Chipper and Andruw took less than market value to extent with us. Andruw even bypassing Boras.

[msstate7]

His agent got him the higher dollar/value contract.

Even if you consider taxes

[VirginiaBrave]

So basically the agent said, I don't really care what you want but I won't let you re-sign with Atlanta, because their offer is not enough.

[chop2chip]

Even if you consider taxes

I assume agents get a % of the gross, but that’s an interesting question.

[bravesnumberone]

What a sad situation. At least we got Olson.
