Through his four seasons, he has batted .310 and hit 94 home runs, posting a .907 OPS through his 614 games in Dodger blue.<\/p>\n<p>He won his first World Series with Atlanta in 2021, and followed it up with another win in 2024, for which he was a key piece. Freeman won the World Series MVP last season, batting .300 with four home runs and 12 RBIs through the Dodgers\u2019 five games against the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Freeman is the current active leader in runs, hits and RBIs, and clearly still has plenty of juice left in the tank at 36. The Dodgers still have him under contract through the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The future Hall of Famer has featured in all 10 of the Dodgers\u2019 postseason games this season, and is looking to play an important role in their upcoming World Series matchup against either the Seattle Mariners or Toronto Blue Jays. The biggest series of the season is set to begin on Friday, Oct. 24.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman revealed what he told his agents before signing with the Dodgers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":109918,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
