The reigning champions have made an impressive start to the 2025 MLB season, opening with a perfect 6-0 record, including victories over the Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves, and Detroit Tigers. With 9 runs on the season so far, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shohei-ohtani" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shohei Ohtani</a></strong> has emerged as one of the team’s key contributors.</p>

Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani names his 2025 MLB season batters and pitchers; Freeman left out

<p>As the 2025 <strong>MLB</strong> season approaches, the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> are gearing up to defend their World Series title. With Shohei Ohtani leading the charge alongside <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/freddie-freeman">Freddie Freeman</a></strong>, the Dodgers are poised for another championship run. Despite swirling rumors and a flurry of offseason trades, Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes singled out Freeman for his exceptional contributions.</p>



<p>Freeman’s standout performance during the postseason was pivotal in securing last year’s championship. <strong>The first baseman tallied four home runs, earning him the honor of World Series MVP.</strong> His consistent play and clutch moments were critical in adding another trophy to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a>‘ collection.</p>



<p>Reflecting on Freeman’s impact, <strong>one particular moment stood out for Gomes: the first home run Freeman hit during the World Series.</strong> Speaking on <em>MLB Network’s Front Office Insights</em> ahead of the new season, Gomes emphasized the significance of that play.</p>



<p><em><strong>“We were sitting in the box with our families. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever jumped as high as I did when Freeman hit that grand slam,”</strong></em> Gomes recalled. <em>“It was absolutely incredible, and I thought to myself, ‘This is going to be on TV forever.’”</em></p>

<h2>Freeman’s Grand Slam ball fetches a record price</h2>



<p>Freddie Freeman’s electrifying Grand Slam, <strong>celebrated as a pivotal moment in the Dodgers’ 2024 World Series victory, has left a lasting legacy.</strong> As the crowd at Dodger Stadium erupted in jubilation, the ball caught by a lucky fan has now become a part of history.</p>



<p>The family who retrieved the iconic ball, specifically their young daughter who held onto it, recently sold it at an auction in Los Angeles for an astonishing $1.56 million. <strong>The sale, held last Saturday, joins the ranks of other high-profile auctions involving Dodgers memorabilia</strong>, including Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball, which fetched $4.4 million earlier this year.</p>



<p>This latest sale falls short of the all-time record for sports memorabilia—<strong>a title held by Mark McGwire’s 70th home run ball, which sold for $3.005 million in 1998. </strong>That historic purchase remains the most expensive sports collectible in U.S. history.</p>



<h2>Freeman’s future with the Dodgers</h2>



<p>Freddie Freeman, a cornerstone of the Dodgers’ championship run,<strong> remains committed to Los Angeles with three seasons left on his six-year, $162 million contract.</strong> His $27 million annual base salary cements his status as one of the highest-paid first basemen in Major League Baseball.</p>



<p>Looking ahead to the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season, Freeman is poised to lead the Dodgers in their title defense alongside superstar Ohtani. <strong>Both players await clarity on Teoscar Hernández’s potential return</strong> and additional offseason acquisitions as the team builds for another championship push.</p>
