Athletics Matt Olson has felt the pressure of returning to his hometown and trying to replace popular Freddie Freeman with the Braves.
It’s just the kind of luck that’s followed the Athletics around since the calendar turned from an encouraging April to a disastrous May.
The split hasn’t been easy for either side, although Olson came up a big winner when he signed an eight-year contract extension worth $168 million after being dealt from the A’s to the Braves during spring training in exchange for centerfielder Cristian Pache, catcher Shea Langeliers and pitchers Ryan Cusick and Joey Estes.
Yet with the kind of money Olson received to return home — he grew up in the Atlanta area — came bigger expectations than he ever had in Oakland. The Braves are coming off a surprise World Series win, and parted with an icon in Freddie Freeman in order to sign Olson, who last season was a first-time All-Star and finished eighth in the AL MVP balloting. There also was pressure on Olson to help offset the absence of Ronald Acuna Jr.
