Until the Dodgers win the World Series this year and he takes home MVP.
we all know the cards and their black magic will beat them.
Still good?
Come on now. He won’t be the best first basemen in baseball in a few years but he will still be good.
I’m projecting. He needs another 3-5 great years.
Matt Olson needs to have a big 3-5 years to even be considered for the hall.
The best 1b of all time was done at 35
If you’re referencing pujols there was an obvious reason for that.

More like 33. Although he was still a decent hitter until 37.

Our window is likely closed well before the end of Olson’s contract. That’s why.

Oh goodie. More Freeman debates.
Yes. Players generally decline in their mid 30's without help.
Cy answered your question. But the Braves window will still be open while Freeman is likely to decline. Olson should not be in decline as the Braves window closes. Nothing is absolute of course but that's the reasoning.
Especially in their late 30s......
The people continually bringing it up are the usual suspects who can’t ever grasp the full context of any topic.
Just focus on the most recent 2-3 months, refuse to understand the bigger picture, and you too can be stuck obsessing about what Freeman is doing right now compared to what Olson is doing right now. By the time right now is in the past you’ll be able to act like you never said stupid things in the moment.
You mean like game threads and complaining about every single pick in the draft threads???

Whether you like it or not the Freeman debates are going to continue until one of two things happens. He's either back here or his production falls completely off the cliff. So I would get used to it. No matter who you assign blame, Freddie, the Braves, or his reps, this fiasco will rank with the 1983 Butler situation, the Wren departure, and the Coppy situation as WTF Braves moments.

Rob Manfred is probably the worst commissioner baseball has had since the sport desegregated. His most recent blunder was this week when he was asked about why minor leaguers aren't paid a living wage. He responded that he disputes the premise that they aren't paid a living wage. A lot of minor leaguers are disagreeing and saying what they were paid, often between $5K and $12K for the season.
I honestly think Manfred doesn't even like baseball.
