Jason Heyward Makes Decision; Cardinals Out, Nats Pessimistic

 

By Steve Adams | December 11, 2015 at 11:54am CST

 

11:54pm: Heyman tweets that the Nationals are believed to have offered about or exactly $200MM to Heyward.

 

11:52am: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets that the Cardinals are “out” on Heyward.

 

11:50am: Jason Heyward has made a decision on which team he’ll sign with, a source tells Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Twitter link). Goold writes that while the Cardinals were aggressive, it doesn’t sound like Heyward chose them. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that the Nationals aren’t optimistic about a deal, either. The Cubs are “very much in play,” says Goold, though no report has indicated that Chicago has agreed to terms with Heyward just yet.

Multiple sources indicate Heyward has indeed chosen Cubs over Cards, Nats.

The Cubs are the best team in baseball.

[KingKat]

Next domino should be Davis to the Cards.

[HERPDERP]

Cubs best team in baseball pretty easily I'd say.

 

Weren't they like 5th place a season ago? Awesome time to be a Cubs fan.

[King]

So Heyward to the Cubs. Wowza

[Ziggyy108]

wow. f*** the cubs if true haha

[glory]

Man the Cubs look incredible.

[Cyborg]

Good deal for them. Under $200M is a steal. Will be such an exciting team.

[Dr. Dinger]

The Cubbies are SCARY good. Holy shite.

[Nafro]

Anyone have any idea of term?

Cubs are so gooood

[G-Snarls]

Holy snaps

 

Cubs are like dayum good

[bowld]

Cubs have shown us all how a rebuild is properly done. They sucked for years waiting for their kids to develop and as soon as they came up, unloaded the bank to bring in the big free agents. They are stacked

[G-Snarls]

I'll fix the thread title once confirmed

Cubs are believed to have gotten heyward for less than $200M. Apparently taking less to be at addison and clark.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

 

Plus the best manager in baseball

[TheHurl]

crazy depth for this team too. Shame they have to play in the toughest division in baseball by far! Paying Edwin Jackson $13M this year and still should be under $140M in payroll. Still not the prettiest rotation in the world though.

 

Zobrist

Heyward

Bryant

Rizzo

Schwarber

Soler

Montero

Russell

 

Bench of Ryan, LaStella, Coghlan

Soler in RF, Heyward in CF.

 

Coghlan will platoon with Soler, replace Schwarber defensively, backup all 3 spots.

[BTS]

Best team we've seen since the 2015 Nats IMO

Soler in RF, Heyward in CF.

I keep forgetting about Soler. Wow!

[TheHurl]

That team f***ed with it's depth though. Cubs are the best "org" (meaning through the 40 and prospects) I've seen a really long time.
