Yeah, the Mookie trade still hurts... You should be thanking Freemans ex agent though for Freddie, he had every intention to go back to Atlanta, but his agent screwed him over and didnt tell him about the communication with the Braves. You guys need to be sending gift baskets and chocolate to that guy. At least the braves got Matt Olson to replace him who has 39hr and a 160 OPS+ which is really close to Freddie. While the Red Sox got.... Verdugo.. yayyy. :(
@@adu3830 Honestly, I think Freeman either wanted the Braves to back the Brinks truck up or go home to Southern Cal. I say that because the Braves did offer the guy and all of the AL East was trying to get him too (Tampa had the best offer). His agent did know and communicated to Freeman. The only thing that Freeman may not have known about was his agent’s ultimatum. Alex did what had to do and take another dope first baseman. I’m a Braves guy and this is water under the bridge. I’m glad that Freeman has “moved on” because that shows the professionalism. I didn’t like seeing him distraught like that because he’s a Brave just playing for the Dodgers. It would have been better if Freddie had went to the Angels, since he grew up rooting for them. The sad thing about this is that he’ll end his career with only one ring, right Dodgers fans? 😁 Those Braves will block the the Doyers from winning another chip for the rest of Freddie’s contract.
They're just quality human beings that happen to be great at baseball. You can tell they love to play the game, but being there for each other and being a positive influence on the whole team is paramount to each them.
I love how Mookie recognized early on that Freddie was still kind of emotionally shocked that he was no longer a Brave and needed help adjusting to life in LA. It took me about 4 months to get used to seeing Freddie in a Dodgers uniform, can't imagine how strange it must have felt for him.
Freeman was born in Orange County, CA area which is right next door to Los Angeles. 😂 He grew up in OC and even played college baseball at Cal State Fullerton. Freddie is just a great guy and he embraced Atlanta and loved the Atlanta fans just as much as they loved him. As a Dodgers fan, I just say welcome home Freddie. The LA fans love both Freddie and Mookie. It’s great to see one big happy family. Ohtani and Kelly / Mookie and Freeman. Just hope it all comes together. They deserve a championship but they know they have to earn it. It’s a team and franchise effort.
That’s the dodgers motto. Ppl expect to go after every free agent but I’m not surprised when they don’t. BUT they’ll sign that franchise player. I’m sure they’ll go hard on ohtani.
Long contracts are fine if you are getting the right player for your franchise. Hall of fame or franchise cornerstones type players with the right leadership and personality qualities. That's these two in a nutshell and their expected performance over the lifetime of their contracts in general looks really good. Compare the cost and structures of mookie Betts and Freddie freeman contracts versus the Xander boegarts and Manny Machado contracts on the padres. Your feelings about Manny aside, the cost of the contract for the padres is not the problem, it's the structure. Long contracts that are just dumb I completely understand. Looking at the padres again, the croneneworth contract is a perfect example
@@kimberlygreene7937 tatis is worth his contract, dervish and Musgrove are worth theirs. Manny is worth his but the payment structure is terrible and that alone makes the Manny contract awful. Not the player or the price but the payment structure. He is getting paid 17 a season for a few years and by the end when he is late 30s early 40s it will be 39 million a year
Freddie is the same way. The NY Times did an article about him when he was still a Brave, about how he is so friendly to opposing team players when they're standing there. The photo was of Mookie as a Dodger playfully hugging him. :)
I love a video like this one here. Exploring a unique friendship with Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts. Thank you to all ESPN employees who made this interview happen. This was a sweet experience to witness between these two and peaked my interest. You are all loved beyond measure.
We couldn't have been more lucky to have these consummate professionals in the club house. We've come a long way from having divas like Kemp and Puig. Great culture!
I Love them both before they became Dodgers, now I pray for their health 😆, these people are straight up what a Dodgers should have been in all things.
It’s Los Angeles. Storylines. During the Braves championship parade Freddie was just very chill and subdued while everyone else was hype. Now he’s mad chatty. 🤷🏾♂️ At least the Dodgers replaced a beast in Seager (glad we don’t have to face him anymore) and we replaced a beast in Freeman. Two guys went home and two teams are glad that happened. Braves vs Dodgers part 4 this year.
Def 2 HOF Dodgers⚾..and then you bring Clayton..that's 3 HOF careers in MLB. Love the fact that they're all Christian devoted men of God🕊️ Thankyou Jesus
Nah, I think the contract is mostly deferrals and if he goes to any other team, said non Dodgers’ team will have to take on the rest of that salary. Correct me if I have it wrong but I don’t think that he’ll sign anywhere else.

NEED these guys to get a ring together 💙
They’re adorable 🌈
They’re gonna choke like my dodgers always do
They will be hoisting up the "piece of metal" together this fall. Freddie NLCS MVP, Mookie WS MVP.
@@Adam-tw8yd the overly talented Dodgers choke not the decent amount of talent don’t choke

Best bromance in baseball
I realize how lucky I dam that both the guys are on my favorite team! Go Dodgers!
I love my team the dodgers we are the best and we have the best fanbase
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Very glad to have them… Dodgers for life!!!
I miss Freddie 🥲
As Dodger fans, we are very blessed to have them both
100% agree!!!

Its so beautiful watching 2 future hall of famers give each other flowers
Yay, best friends for life.
I smiled that whole video. Love it.
THAT’S THE BEST DUO IN BASEBALL. THAT’S MY 1-2 PUNCH, THEY COULD GO UP AGAINST ANY OTHERS. LETS GET THIS RUNG BOYS💯💪🔥
These two could be the two nicest guys in all of baseball!
Can’t wait for the big three next year with Ohtani.
Let's go
It happened 😂
Mookie is the ‘Good Guy’, he has a lot of friends, he seems to know how to be a good friend and also make a lot of friends. 🎉
His podcast is dope
Freddie is the same way. The NY Times did an article about him when he was still a Brave, about how he is so friendly to opposing team players when they're standing there. The photo was of Mookie as a Dodger playfully hugging him. :)
These guys are total bros. And theyre total baseball professionals
Freeman is finally settling in
The best combination.

It's not luck. It's a big bank account.
Matt Kemp diva? man got robbed of an MVP I never saw 'diva' in em, Puig a whole nother story 😅
Lucky to have them. Vamos Doyers‼️
Love both these guys, the 1 two 🥊
Congratulations 2024 World Series Champs, thanks for the memories!
Hope these two and rest of the dodgers players finally win it all and get a ring ⛵🚢🎢
Great interview and conversation.
다저스 팬으로 배츠와 프리먼의 뛰어난 플레이를 함께 볼수 있다는건 이보다 더 행복할수 없다 !!
Good job that’s what young kid’s need my grandkids thing highly of both ❤
Two pretty best friends 💙
this is so amazing
The most dangerous 1 2 punch in mlb!!
Great players for a great team GO DODGERS
Great to see as a baseball fan .
So awesome.
The Absolute best!!!!!!
I Love them both before they became Dodgers, now I pray for their health 😆, these people are straight up what a Dodgers should have been in all things.
Besides Kershaw, the most lovely boys. That smile, that vibe 😂😂😂
That makes me wonder if Freddie can play bowling as good as Mookie! Go Dodgers!!
I wouldn't even be surprised if Freddie was. I mean clearly he's pretty good at ping pong too lol.
'..if Freddie can _play_ bowling.." ? How about, 'if Freddie can _bowl_ ..' ?
It's called "Chemistry."
They’re both winners, both know what it takes to win.
Both going to the HOF eventually and maybe induction the same year
As a braves fan, I hate their so close lol 😂
Loved it!
The Padres wish they had chemistry like that 😂😂
2024 champions let's go get another ring Dodger heaven for life
Meanwhile Tatis Soto Xander and Machado all hate each other lol go Dodgers ❤
Shaq & Kobe 👀
World Series Champs!!!!
내년에 두 사람 사이에 오타니까지
합류하여 더 완벽한 다저스팀이 되길바랍니다
As a lifelong Dodger fan....."Were LUCKY AF"
They’re soulmates
The Dodgers two best players are the 2 best players in baseball.
Wherever Kirk Gibson is he is smiling right now.

Teamwork
dodger legends
Wow, get these two a room! 😅
Yeah, I hate when they call two grown men being cool a “bromance.” 🤢🤮
Would you rather they called it a 'romance' ?@@jeremiah_12
Double audio and shot out of focus. Professional, ESPN
Cmon fellas let's get it
Champs!! 💙🏓
These 2 guys are good enough to single-handedly carry the Dodgers on their backs to a World Series title. Watch. I will be right.
As a padres fan I cant not like them. This also looks like it was filmed in petco park lol
Dodgers stadium south*
Ohtani will be there this winter
So it’s gonna be a black guy a white guy and an Asian guy walk into a bar
Fingers crossed.
💙💙
1:26 they homies homies

Yeah
This seems a bit forced to me. The true friendship is between Freeman & Hayward
It’s Los Angeles. Storylines. During the Braves championship parade Freddie was just very chill and subdued while everyone else was hype.

Everybody who predicted doom and gloom for my Dodgers will be eating crow when this season is over.
Karl's toupee is particularly bad from this angle. His questions are almost as bad as his hair.
Can wait till they add Ohtani into this mix
Def 2 HOF Dodgers⚾..and then you bring Clayton..that's 3 HOF careers in MLB.
Love the fact that they're all Christian devoted men of God🕊️ Thankyou Jesus
Amen my brother
Freeman going into the HOF as a Brave my guy. Betts may be a Dodger.
Right on..I'm saying 3 Dodgers teammates in 2023 are all going into Canton..Freddie loves his Braves, no doubt about it⚾
Make room for Ohtani...
