Former Braves pitcher Alex Wood, who is currently with the San Francisco Giants, spoke about the highly anticipated return and how Freeman will be welcomed.

"The fact that this is even a question is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. One of the best in franchise history, a pillar of the Atlanta community and potential future HOF. Real Braves fans should be laughing at this."- Alex Wood on Freddie Freeman's return to Atlanta

Freddie Freeman and the Los Angeles Dodgers will continue their road trip this weekend as they travel to face the Atlanta Braves. Freeman played for the Braves from 2010-2021 and became a favorite due to his play on the field and the role he played in the community.

Any Atlanta Braves fan who has followed the team for the past decade or so would be grateful for the many memories he provided. It will be interesting to see how he will be received as he was such a great player for the team for over a decade.
