纽约邮报的报导，提到洋基在三年前自由人进入自由球员市场时对他有兴趣，但双方在初步
谈判后几乎就没有进一步的联络
“He didn’t want to come here,” a Yankees official said. “He wanted to stay i
n Atlanta, and if he couldn’t stay in Atlanta, he wanted to go to LA.”
某洋基高层说自由人不想来纽约“他想留在亚特兰大，不然就是去洛杉矶。”
Going into that winter, the Yankees were thought interested in doing a possible
$180M deal for Freeman, who was born in Southern California but loved his Braves
days.
那年冬天据说洋基有兴趣开到180M给自由男神
If true, that could have worked — if he’d craved to come.
如果这是真的，那应该是有机会签到他。前提是他愿意来纽约
Another person familiar with the situation agreed that the Braves and Dodgers we
re at the very least the top two choices for one of the top five hitters in MLB,
in that order.
另外一位知情人士同意勇士跟道奇就是Freeman的首选
Freeman, approached by The Post before Game 4, declined to discuss his geographi
cal preferences, not surprising since he was readying himself for the potential
Series clincher.
纽约邮报在G4开打前采访了自由人，他拒绝讨论他的地区偏好
“I had a conversation with [GM Brian Cashman]. They never made an offer,” Free
man told The Post.
自由人告诉邮报他当时有跟现金人对话过，不过洋基没有开出报价
Cashman recalled a Zoom meeting he and manager Aaron Boone had with Freeman but
only that they weren’t able to match up.
现金人则回忆说他跟布恩有跟自由人开线上会议，但对合约条件无法达成一致
When talks with the Braves soured, Freeman eventually signed a Dodger-deferred d
eal for $162M over six years that’s worth $140M to $145M.
在跟勇士队谈崩以后，自由人与道奇签了6年162M带延期付款的合约，现值大约140-145M
As it turned out, the Braves’ five-year, $140M bid was probably better financia
lly, but once they gave up hope of getting it done, they traded for Matt Olson,
signing him to a $168M, eight-year deal.
勇士队开的5年140M可能比较多钱，不过在他们觉得签不下自由人后马上就交易了Matt Olso
n，并且跟他签下8年168M合约
Freeman then moved on, and he’s said to be thrilled as a Dodger — understandab
ly so.
