<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/freddie-freeman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Freddie Freeman</a> has been instrumental for the Los Angeles Dodgers throughout this World Series. His last standout moment for the franchise came in the dramatic 18-inning showdown against the Toronto Blue Jays, where he delivered a walk-off home run that secured a vital victory for the Dodgers. However, despite this heroics, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vladimir-guerrero-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vladimir Guerrero Jr</a>.’s squad remains fiercely determined to claim the title, especially after its stellar performances in Games 4 and 5.



As the stakes heighten ahead of what could be a pivotal game for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Jays</a> in their quest for the World Series crown, Freeman issued a resolute statement to Guerrero Jr. and his team. “We’ve been here before,” Freeman told the media, reflecting on last year’s matchup where they rallied from a 2-1 deficit against the Padres to win two consecutive games. “We can do it again,” he declared confidently after their Game 5 setback against Toronto.



With the series standing at 3-2 in favor of the Blue Jays, anticipation runs high about the challenges awaiting both franchises in the upcoming games. Despite holding the advantage, Toronto is under pressure, especially considering Freeman’s warnings and the competitive mindset of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dodgers</a>‘ players.



As uncertainty looms over the outcome of the next World Series clash, fans from around the globe are eager to witness a display of peak performance on the field. This game holds the potential to captivate audiences worldwide, particularly given the possibility of Canada securing another World Series title.

One team that has caught the attention of other franchises is the Los Angeles Dodgers. 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, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shohei-ohtani" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shohei Ohtani</a> has emerged as one of the team’s key contributors.



Fans are understandably hopeful for another postseason run, with many expecting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dodgers</a> to make a return to the World Series. After defeating the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series, Los Angeles is determined to prove that last year’s title wasn’t a fluke. Early results suggest they’re on the right path.



Before the season kicked off, Ohtani was interviewed in Japan, where he shared his picks for batters and hitters poised to make an impact throughout the year.

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

As the 2025 MLB season approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers are gearing up to defend their World Series title. With Shohei Ohtani leading the charge alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/freddie-freeman">Freddie Freeman</a>, 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.



Freeman’s standout performance during the postseason was pivotal in securing last year’s championship. The first baseman tallied four home runs, earning him the honor of World Series MVP. 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.



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



“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,” Gomes recalled. “It was absolutely incredible, and I thought to myself, ‘This is going to be on TV forever.’”

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



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



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. The sale, held last Saturday, joins the ranks of other high-profile auctions involving Dodgers memorabilia, including Shohei Ohtani’s 50th home run ball, which fetched $4.4 million earlier this year.



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



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



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



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. Both players await clarity on Teoscar Hernández’s potential return and additional offseason acquisitions as the team builds for another championship push.
