Rewind back to August 31, 2018. Long-time veteran David Freese is being employed by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The past few seasons he’s been hanging around league-average as a hitter, limited defensively at the corner infield positions. He’s serviceable, but his value is replaceable. It wouldn’t have been surprising to see Freese retire after the 2018 season, or maybe hang around on a low-end free agency deal. Yet whatever way you looked at it, his days on a big league roster looked limited.
