(7:53) Gottlieb has since apologized that he lied about stating Close failed to disclose the Braves final offer to Freeman. Freeman ultimately signed with the Dodgers. Close sued Gottlieb for defamation. Gottlieb issued a statement that he relied on a source and prematurely sent out the tweet. Close issued a statement that the matter was “closed” and a notice of withdrawal was formally filed later that same day to officially resolve the matter. MiLB is still working towards unionization.
