9 years without pain... why doesnt this get fixed earlier? That's his entire career so far. Is this a fault of the Braves medical staff or his fault for not taking care of it sooner?

His NLDS numbers are absolutely horrendous. Not just last years but 2018 and 2013.
 
So wait, we've only ever seen "in nigh-constant pain with a ****ed up elbow" Freeman?

If he has a really bad year, we'll need someone to start smacking him in the elbow with a hammer just before every game.
 
I love Freddie, I really do, but he has some making up to do this year. He has been amazing, and I'm not trying to take anything away from any of that, but he played seriously hurt through September and into the playoffs, and it cost us. To find out that this has been such an ongoing problem that could've been fixed during the offseason is close to infuriating. It is certainly beyond frustrating.

Players should not be making these decisions.
 
Playing through pain that develops within a season is one thing - that's the kind of decision that involves balancing a lot of competing interests, and there's no easy, one-size-fits-all answer there. Not getting a lingering injury cleared up during any given offseason at some point in the last nine years (in a way that would easily get you back in time for spring training) is mind-boggling.

Scratched with elbow soreness according to Snitker.

As Paul Harvey would say, "Here's the rest of the story".

From MLBTR

As of yesterday afternoon, the outlook was rather positive on Freddie Freeman’s troublesome right elbow. But he was scratched from his scheduled spring appearance today owing to inflammation in the joint.

It’s not time to panic if you’re a Braves fan. The club made clear it’s a precautionary move. And some amount of swelling in the elbow at some point was probably inevitable. Freeman, after all, required fairly extensive cleanup work over the offseason to address painful bone spurs.
