Freddie Freeman said on September 26, 2026, that the Los Angeles Dodgers want to help Miguel Rojas finish as a champion, with 11 postseason wins remaining to reach that goal.
Freeman said winning 100 games was special because a 162-game season is difficult, adding that the achievement reflected more than the 26 active players. He credited the 40-man roster and players involved around the trade deadline, while saying, "It's not just the 26 guys, 40man roster trade deadline." He also stated, "to win 100 games is special. It's hard to do."
Freeman acknowledged that his knee was bothering him but said, "No, it's good. So, I'll be ready to go." A reporter jokingly compared the knee's barking to a pit bull, and Freeman responded that it was fine.
Freeman said he made a small adjustment after lining a foul ball down the right-field line in his final at-bat. He also said he would not use the knee as an excuse, stating, "I will never make an excuse for my knee barking."
Freeman planned to begin working on his swing Tuesday, saying, "starting Tuesday, I will be on the field trying to figure it out." He explained that he wanted to rediscover the swing that helped him enter the 2024 World Series strongly and remain hot for three weeks, while saying the Dodgers had "11 more wins to go for for us and Miguel."
Freeman's stated outlook was to work on his swing starting Tuesday, prepare for the next game on Saturday and pursue the 11 postseason wins he said remained for the Dodgers and Miguel Rojas.
