Freddie Freeman was the 2024 World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP), so he is highly valued by the Dodgers and is expected to continue wearing the jersey for a long time. However, as is the case in any sport, fans are jealous and difficult to please, so they may not be entirely comfortable with the statements the first baseman made about the next team to beat.
Freeman has hit safely in each of the 11 World Series games he has played in his career, posting a .310/.362/.810 slash line.

Freeman, who has been a key piece in the Dodgers’ lineup, commented on the difficulty of facing a pitcher like Yesavage. “The only challenge is that we’re going to face Trey Yesavage, a guy that nobody on the Dodgers has faced before,” Freeman said in a recent interview.
