Braves send: Freddie Freeman, 1B - LAD 22: 15M 5th rd draft pick
Giants send: CJ Cron, 1B - COL 22: 8M 23: 8M 24: 14M Luis Arraez, 1B,2B,3B,LF 22-24: 500K
Reasoning: Cron and Arraez are both studs. They contribute in different ways, but a great duo. With Rhys Hoskins and Vinnie Pasquantino on my team. I can't make it work to have 4 1B next year. This allows me to consolidate talent in Freeman who is elite! Thanks for the easy discussion Jason! Best of luck Braves!

Looking ahead to 2023, I only have ~20m in available cap space and very few roster holes. There was no way I could match the RFA bid on Freeman and didn't want to settle for a comp pick.
While I wish there was any other way to keep him, I'm glad to acquire two controllable players that should strengthen me across all offensive cats sans SB (Freeman has 9...cue Owen Wilson "WOW")
