Freddie Freeman Slams 'Ridiculous' MLB Proposal

Freddie Freeman slammed the MLB's proposal to change the amateur draft process, calling it 'ridiculous'.

What is the proposal?

The proposal would prevent high school players from entering the draft, reduce rounds from 20 to 12, and cut the signing bonus pool in half.

Freeman expressed his displeasure, stating it's a money issue, not about improving competition.

Why does Freeman oppose the proposal?

Freeman came out of high school and was drafted by the Atlanta Braves, which he believes helped him develop as a player.

He said it got him into the professional ranks and allowed him to develop with the organization.

What's next for the proposal?

The MLBPA has already come out against the proposal, calling it 'flat out bad for baseball' and stating it would 'cripple the next generation of players'.

The player's association will fight against anything that delays players' ability to enter the league and develop at a faster rate.

Freeman's comments highlight the ongoing collective bargaining negotiations between MLB and the MLBPA, with the league's proposal being met with strong opposition from players.
