And he'll be traded right after BOTH Coppy's arms are gone at this point.

This is not a shot at those who like to discuss those types of things to make interesting chatter on a message board - makes for interesting topics - but a Freeman trade is as close to never happening as a handful of others being traded or someone breaking Joe D's hit streak record or Ryan's no-hitter record.

Players that are as much "in play" as Freddie at this point:

Kershaw, Harper, Bryant, Arenado, Trout, Bumgarner, and maybe a few others.

No, you can never say "never", but the return would have to be so franchise-altering that someone would have to be crazy to meet the price.
 
Yeah, he has really turned a corner that I honestly didn't think he would ever turn. Which was fine, I was completely satisfied with the player he was. But if he can sustain something like this going forward, he's a massive piece in getting this team to where we want to be.

off wall theory.. FF seemed to get beaten by the shift last year. he was still having a good season when healthy, but man that shift ate a lot hits up. This year it seems he has changed his approach more to hit the ball in the air. I am not in ppsition to check FB/GB %.. but I would bet he is hitting more FB this year. whatever the reason for him having a break out season, I hope it continues. He would become a top ten talent that could lead a team to a championship.
