Francoeur was joking... but really? You know, when you're actually a good player, the home team usually tries to sign you long term, like they did with Brian McCann (and like they tried to do with you, Francoeur, when they thought you were a good player). Like they did with Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux... the Braves have a long history of wrapping up their top players, especially top home-grown players. Francoeur had the opportunity, and he didn't, so maybe he just doesn't understand how this organization works. And I wonder why he's no longer here...
