""I was incredibly impressed by it," Friedman said of the dance. "Setting aside my emotions of how much I disliked it. I can't wait to see him do it every week when he's working with us after he's done playing.""
"Freeman is the clear starter at first base for the Dodgers, with no real backup in place. The All-Star played 147 games for the Dodgers, and is sure to play as much as he can as they look for a third consecutive title in 2026. The Dodgers are right to place their trust in Freeman, as he is one of the best first baseman in the game's history."
"The veteran had a fantastic 2025 campaign, placing third in the National League with a .295 batting average while hitting 24 home runs and driving in 90 RBIs. He also improved upon his 2024 OPS, posting a .869 mark. With the integration of All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker - who manager Dave Roberts revealed will bat second or third during his introductory press conference - Freeman's spot in the lineup may change."
Andrew Friedman praised Freddie Freeman's offseason "worm dance" and said he looks forward to seeing Freeman perform it weekly when Freeman works with the team after retiring. Freeman, 36, has played for the Dodgers since 2022 and has not announced post-retirement plans. Freeman is the Dodgers' clear starting first baseman with no real backup and played 147 games, aiming to contribute as the team pursues another title in 2026. Freeman ranked third in the National League in 2025 with a .295 average, 24 home runs, 90 RBIs, and a .869 OPS, while the addition of Kyle Tucker could shift Freeman's lineup spot.
