Los Angeles Dodgers superstar first baseman Freddie Freeman says he hopes the team three-peats at home and not on the road.
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar first baseman Freddie Freeman wants to complete the three-peat in front of the home fans and not on the road.
During an interview in front of fans on Saturday at Fan Fest, Freeman shared that he hopes the Dodgers pull off the three-peat in front of the home fans at Dodger Stadium this season.
“Let’s try and do that this year instead of on the road,” Freeman said.
The 2024 World Series MVP has helped lead the Dodgers to back-to-back titles. However, the two times L.A. has accomplished that feat, they did so on the road.

In 2024, the Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in five games, and they celebrated in the Bronx. Just a mere three months ago, the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in an epic Game 7, but it was at the Rogers Centre.
Los Angeles has not had the luxury of celebrating a World Series clincher in front of their home fans in over 40 years. Luckily, the Dodgers have been able to celebrate a parade the past two seasons, considering they weren’t able to when they won in 2020 after a 32-year drought.
The Dodgers have won nine titles in franchise history and will look for their 10th in 2026. L.A. has tremendous odds to do just that with a loaded roster from top to bottom.
Is Freddie Freeman Nearing Retirement?
Freeman is a major reason why the Dodgers are heavy favorites. The 36-year-old is still playing elite baseball, coming off a season in which he slashed .295/.367/.502 with a .869 OPS, along with 24 home runs and 90 RBIs in 627 plate appearances and 147 games.
The nine-time All-Star is soon to enter his fifth season in Los Angeles, and it’s been quite the journey. After a shaky exit from the Atlanta Braves, Freeman has found himself a new home where he is embraced.
The end is near for Freeman in his playing career, and he revealed a timeline during Fan Fest as well.
“I have two years left on this deal,” Freeman said. “I think 20 years would be pretty cool, so I guess I would put it at four more years.”
Freeman has two more years on his current deal, which runs through 2027.
