Matt Olson... left side slugger

Post by AT Funchal-Madeira » Wed Mar 09, 2022 9:13 am

Braves: Atlanta has pursued Olson as a replacement for Freeman at a cheaper price. He would cost a lot on the trade market, but the Braves have a solid farm system. Olson is also from Georgia, which helps matters.
Yankees: New York has Luke Voit starting at first base right now. That’s not good enough. Anthony Rizzo is a free agent, and they probably don’t want to afford Freeman on a six-year deal. However, the Yankees also won’t trade away prized prospect Anthony Volpe, which hurts their chances.
Rangers: Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported before the lockout that the Rangers were interested in Olson. They’ll likely circle back with a trade offer involving Nathaniel Lowe and some prospects.
Padres: San Diego would have to trade away Eric Hosmer first, but Dennis Lin of the Athletic believes the Padres are in the mix for Olson. A.J. Preller will have to work some magic.
Guardians: Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggested the Guardians trading for Olson ‘makes sense’, but also acknowledged there isn’t much noise connecting the two sides right now.

Braves only offered 138 million for 5 years.... guess that wasn't enough for Freeman who undoubtedly must clean bathrooms during the lockout to pay the home heating bill..
