Scout’s note

Freeman's 106.41 EV95 sits just above the median bat we track, and his results are 0.0172 below what the physics say he's earned — owed, not borrowing, which at 36 is a quieter signal than it sounds. No board flag: he ranks No. 122 of 357 on the breakout composite, and the board takes 20. Drafted in the second round out of Villa Park in 2007, now 2,298 games in, he's hitting .304 with a batting-average title still in reach.

Current signals

The read: Freeman is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 106.0 (53rd percentile of the 373 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.020 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 129 of 373 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Los Angeles Dodgers.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
