Dodgers News: Freddie Freeman Now Enjoys ‘Different’ Return To Truist Park

Freddie Freeman is now in his fourth season with the Los Angeles Dodgers after a 12-year career with the Atlanta Braves.

While with the Braves, Freeman became one of the franchise’s all-time greats and a future Hall of Fame candidate. Freeman thought he would retire with the Braves, but after contract negotiations failed, he ended up signing with the Dodgers.

Freeman was emotional upon first leaving the Braves, and he even had some tears after moving on from the only franchise he’d ever known.

But now, the 35-year-old is much more comfortable in L.A. and even added another World Series ring to his résumé last season.

With the Dodgers traveling to Atlanta as part of their road trip, Freeman has much different feelings about it, and he’s now looking forward to the return to Truist Park.

“It’s different, obviously. Now I’m just excited,” Freeman said. “I’ve got my whole family there. They’ve been there for a couple days.

“I’ll get to see my oldest brother, who lives there, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law and their four kids. I’ve got a lot of people that are going to be there. My dad, stepmom, cousins, aunts, in-laws. They’re all going to be there.

“I look forward to it. It’s fun now. It’s good to see familiar faces and I do love playing in that stadium. I got to play there a lot, so I’m excited to go back and see everybody and play.”

In 12 years with the Braves, Freeman was a five-time National League All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger, MVP in 2020, and a World Series Champion in 2021, his final season there.

In 1565 games, he batted .295/.384//509 with 367 doubles, 271 home runs, and 776 walks.

Freeman has played 334 career games at Truist Park, hitting a remarkable .302/.397/.541. Prior to the construction of the Braves’ current stadium, Freeman also played 447 games at Turner Field, where he batted .289/.378/.482.

However, he has only faced the Braves 20 times in his career, posting a .299/.407/.533 slash line.

Braves made donation in Freddie Freeman’s honor

Last year when the Dodgers played in Atlanta, Freeman and his family received a special gift in his son’s name, a donation to the GBS/CIDP Foundation from of the Braves organization.

In late July, Max Freeman endured a battle with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder. The harrowing experience was followed by Freddie taking time away from the Dodgers to be with his son, who has since made an incredible recovery.
