According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the Dodgers and Braves have been the “most consistent pursuers and most likely landing spots” for Freeman.
Per Heyman, the belief is the Braves had been offering around $140 million over five years for Freeman, who could be looking for a six-year deal.

Freeman is the biggest name left on the free agent market, and a West Coast team appears to be hot in their pursuit of the former MVP.
According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Los Angeles Dodgers are making a ‘strong push’ to sign Freeman, offering him a multi-year deal.
A five-time All-Star, three-time Silver Slugger winner and the 2020 NL MVP, Freeman has a career slash line of .295/.384/.509 with 271 homers and 941 RBI in 12 seasons with the Atlanta Braves.
The Yankees are believed to be a potential suitor for Freeman, while there were also reports that the Mets checked in on him prior to the lockout starting back at the beginning of December.
