Freddie Freeman New Dodgers Contract! Why Freddie Freeman Will Retire a Dodger Not a Brave

The Los Angeles Dodgers absolutely bludgeoned the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen at PNC Park, exploding for a massive 10-run 7th inning to secure a 12-3 win! 97.1 The Fan LA hosts Doug McCain (D-Mac) and Bill Reiter break down how Eric Lauer went toe-to-toe with Paul Skenes thanks to the legendary Dodgers Pitching Lab. Plus, Freddie Freeman just collected his 2,500th career hit. D-Mac drops a truth bomb about Freeman's contract, the chase for 3,000 hits, and why the Dodgers shouldn't retire his No. 5 jersey unless he enters Cooperstown with an LA logo on his plaque. Did you know the Los Angeles Dodgers don't have a single position player in the Hall of Fame? We break down the future of Dalton Rushing, Shohei Ohtani's DH lock, and the hilarious banter on why Reiter would trust Freddie Freeman with his life.
