Freddie Freeman's ex-agent Casey Close threatened legal action after radio host Doug Gottlieb accused him of failing in his duties representing the now-Los Angeles Dodgers slugger.
Now it appears that he has followed through. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on Thursday that Close has filed a libel suit against Gottlieb, alleging that he defamed him in a June tweet.
Agent Casey Close sued radio host Doug Gottlieb for libel Thursday, alleging in a complaint that Gottlieb defamed him and Excel Sports Management in a tweet regarding the contract negotiations of Dodgers star Freddie Freeman, according to court documents obtained by ESPN.Gottlieb, a radio host who covers college basketball, tweeted on June 29 that Close declined to tell Freeman about an offer from the Braves before Freeman eventually left the franchise for the Dodgers via free agency.
Casey Close never told Freddie Freeman about the Braves final offer, that is why Freeman fired him. He found out in Atlanta this weekend. It isn’t that rare to have happen in MLB, but it happened - Close knew Freddie would have taken the ATL deal
