The connections run deep in Los Angeles. Reunited teammates Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward have another opportunity to run it back like their days in Atlanta but perhaps Freeman played a larger role than most people thought.
When reports originally came out of Heyward coming to the Dodgers, no one was more excited than Freeman. Heyward’s numbers have gone down in the later part of his career as he has frequently moved between the minors and majors, but the Dodgers had a position to fill.
Adding more depth into the outfield at a virtually non-risk contract was the move the front office was waiting for.
