During an All-Star pregame interview at Globa Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Freddie Freeman gave a hilarious response. The first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers was asked which teammate he would not allow to babysit his kids.
Freeman didn’t hesitate to single out one particular player:
"Gavin Luz [...] We all know why. Maybe when he has a kid, I’ll change my mind," Freeman quipped.
The message was clear: Lux might not have the experience or personality that Freeman thinks is needed for such a responsibility.
On the other hand, he picked veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw when asked who he could trust.
"Clayton Kershaw, because he has like a hundred kids and I think he could handle it," he said in jest.
Kershaw, a father of four, is known for being calm and having experience as a father, making him an obvious choice for Freeman’s hypothetical babysitting needs.
The Los Angeles Dodgers players have been known for their easy-going approach and jokes with each other, which elevates their camaraderie.
