""I'm a little confused, why?'' Roberts said. "You know where he praises his country, he has played for Team Canada, he was traded here. So yeah, he's a baseball player who loves the U.S., loves Canada, he's a a heck of a player, even a better person. "I don't know what the Blue Jays fans have in store for him, but I don't think he'll be fazed by it.''"
"Freeman spoke on what it will be like to play in Canada, knowing his familiar ties to the country, but also doesn't know what kind of reception he will receive. "It's going to be pretty special,'' Freeman said. "I'm not so sure the Canadian fans, the Blue Jays fans, will be cheering for me this time around like I was in the WBC the last couple of times.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers will meet the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series with the Dodgers pursuing back-to-back championships. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has Canadian ties through his Hall of Fame father who began his career in Montreal. A disagreement between two famous rappers is mentioned as part of the broader backdrop. Manager Dave Roberts was surprised by questions about whether Blue Jays fans will jeer Freddie Freeman and defended Freeman's character and Canadian ties. Freeman said playing in Canada will be special but expressed uncertainty about the reception from Blue Jays fans. Game 1 starts Friday at Rogers Centre, 5 p.m. PST.
