Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman took a big financial hit when he recently sold his Southern California home.
Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, sold their home in Studio City for $6.45 million late last year, as reported by E.B. Solomont for The Wall Street Journal.
While a significant figure, it’s far less than the $7.825 million they paid in 2023.
“This home was purchased after their initial move to LA,” Ginger Glass of Compass, one of the listing agents, told the Journal in an email.
The Freemans had asked for far more for the 0.22 acre property, which includes a main house that’s about 4,500 square feet and a guesthouse that’s about 500 square feet.
When it was first listed by the Freemans in 2024, they sought $8.995 million, though the Journal said the most recent asking price had been $7.349 million.
Freddie Freeman Made Himself at Home in LA
Despite the financial hit, the Freemans will probably be OK.
Not only is the future Hall of Famer on a $162 million contract, but he and the rest of the Boys in Blue are gunning for their third straight World Series title.
That feat hasn’t been accomplished since the New York Yankees did it in 1998-2000.
Freeman has also excelled personally, and not only because he’s hit two walk-off home runs in the World Series.
In 614 games, he’s hit .310 with an OPS of .907. He also is nearing 100 home runs with the Dodgers — he’ll begin the season with 96 — and 381 RBIs.
While bringing home a three-peat would certainly be something to dance about, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman indicated that Freeman’s playing days may not be the only way he contributes to the team.
Asked about Freeman’s infamous dance, Friedman said he was “impressed by it.”
“I can’t wait to see him do it every week when he’s working with us after he’s done playing,” Friedman said.

Were the Freemans forced to sell? Seems to me the Freeman’s CHOSE to take a loss. Just business and taxes. Nothing to see here.
I think the sale of their home or anything else is their OWN PRIVATE BUSINESS !! He certainly shares a large part of his life, for which most of us are grateful !! They are truly an exemplary family!! Their “business affairs” should be private!! God bless the Freeman family.
