The third-oldest stadium in baseball, Dodger Stadium remains one of the best. On Tuesday, it will host the All-Star Game for the first time since 1980.“I don’t see this as a situation about me,” Freeman said. “This is between Excel and Doug.”
That March, the lawsuit said, the Braves submitted an offer in writing to Freeman and Close for a five-year, $110-million extension. Freeman rejected it. Two days later, the Braves traded for Oakland A’s first baseman Matt Olson — effectively ending Freeman’s tenure with the team.later that week, said at his introductory news conference with the Dodgers this spring he had been “blindsided” by the Olson trade. He had believed up until that point there was still a way he and the Braves could reach a deal.
Entering Thursday, Freeman led the team with a .317 batting average and .912 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. He said he and Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who led the negotiations for the Braves, had a three-hour FaceTime conversation before the start of the season in which he heard Anthopoulos’ side of the story.Dodger Stadium is a distinctly wonderful place to watch a baseball game, but a most difficult place to attend a baseball game.
