"You might not be able to tell from traditional park-factor data, but the new Atlanta ballpark appears to be much more hitter friendly than its predecessor. The fly balls hit by the Braves and their opponents to data haven’t been hit all that hard (“should have” resulted in .301 AVG-.846 SLG to date), but have actually resulted in much more production (.345 AVG-1.008 SLG, 137.9 Fly Ball Park Factor). In all of MLB, almost exactly 15.0% of fly balls hit between 95-100 mph have gone over the wall this season; 22.0% of such flies have done so in this new yard."
It's the new launching pad
To be fair with Judge, he was bad last year. Has been insane this year but hard to say if he'll be this good going forward.
Certainly doesnt hurt to ask for him in a trade for Freeman, hypothetically but i get sturg hates the FO currently.
Of course you would lock up Adams long term and much cheaper.I Think now that Adams is in shape...this is the player he is. He is not Freddie of course, but he is more than adequate. If you added so much other talent (knowing the Yankees position player strength)...added with the position players we have on the way plus all our pitching...my oh my. I LOVE Freddie, but maybe you get three future all stars for one present (when you know most of his contract will be burned in non contending years). It's worth a thought.
Play Adams in RF. Anything hit over his head is leaving the park anyway, so don't sweat it. FF/Kemp/Adams would be fun there in the middle...

It is interesting to think about trading Freeman. Getting Adams kind of shows how its easier to find a hitter that doesn't hurt you that much on defense.
If you can trade Freeman for two potential stud everyday players and find a first baseman do you do it?
I say no because I have an insane man crush on Freeman but it is an interesting thought.

There's a PR element involved with trading FF that would be pretty devastating locally. People LOVE Freddie...

Only reason to consider it is will we re-sign him when his contract is up to a monster contract in his 32-37 age years at 30+ a year given contracts today.
Does depend on the return of course, would have to be a godfather offer.
The Yankees don't care about money and $130 mil deal is very cost effective in their world. Frazier is a GA boy and has long hair lol. Doesn't look Yankee "esk".
