Freddie Freeman joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 16–18, 2022, signing a six-year contract worth $162 million. The deal was publicly reported in mid-M March 2022, with the Dodgers confirming the agreement shortly after the reports first surfaced. Freeman’s move came after he helped the Atlanta Braves win the 2021 World Series and after the Braves traded for Matt Olson, which effectively opened the door for Freeman to move to L.A.
