Let's look at this from the Von Miller perspective.
He says it wasn't about the bread, but were the Rams offering him (up to) 120 million?
Note - he probably won't come close to that 120 mil because his cap hit in the third year of the deal jumps to 17 million - which is a ton to be paying a 34-35yo pass rusher who already has 160 NFL games under his belt at age 33.
Anyways this is the MLB thread - I'm guessing Freeman wanted to make a lot of money and also play for a title contender - guessing the Braves didn't want to match what the Dodgers were offering in terms of years or money.
