Heyward gone. Can't say I'll miss him. His glove was great but his bat hasn't lived up to the hype since he came into the big leagues. He was supposed to be a .300+ hitter, 30 HR's, 100 rbi, and 40+ SB a year guy. Instead he is a .260 hitter who can't hit the high fastball people love to feed him. Hell, we got that with Phambimo with a lot less money Time to chase Chris Davis or Gordon from KC. That would make the entire west side throw up in their mouth seeing him in a STL uniform.
He batted .293 in 2015.
The Cubs offered less than the Cardinals. Word is a lot less. Cards lost their best defensive player to a team that needed exactly that. He doesn't have to be some savior for them like he did for us, just play the way he played last year and the Cubs will be thrilled. And at 26 years old, I wouldn't bet against his offensive game getting even better over the next 4 years.
So the Cards make huge plays for 2 guy this off season, thought they had both of them, and got skunked twice.
They need to get the rest of this winter right.
