NEW YORK — A radio host has admitted he falsely claimed agent Casey Close never informed first baseman Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves’ last contract offer.<\/p>\n
Doug Gottlieb tweeted on June 29 that “Casey Close never told Freddie Freeman about the Braves final offer.” Close and Excel Sports Management sued Gottlieb in mid-July in US District Court in Manhattan, alleging defamation by libel.<\/p>\n
