  • Dodgers Sign Freddie Freeman To 6 Years $162 Million



    Freddie Freeman has agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a six-year, $162 million deal.

    Freeman, 32, reached free agency for the first time in his career after helping the Atlanta Braves win their first World Series since 1995 with a six-game triumph over the Houston Astros. During his 12th big league season, the first baseman hit .300 (eighth in the National League), with 31 homers, 83 RBIs and an NL-leading 120 runs scored.

    He hit free agency with one of the most sparkling resumes in the game. He's a .295 career hitter, with 271 homers among his 1,704 career hits. The hits and homers both rank among the top 10 career marks in Braves history. Only Chipper Jones and Dale Murphy have collected more hits for the Braves since the franchise moved to Atlanta in 1966.

    Freeman has made five NL All-Star teams, won a Gold Glove in 2018, has won a a Silver Slugger award at first base for the NL in each of the past three seasons and finished in the top 10 of NL MVP balloting six times. In 2020, Freeman was named NL MVP after hitting a career-best .341 during the pandemic-shortened campaign.
