Man seems like FAs rejecting the nats. First zobrist and now heyward. They might be better off $200m for heyward is iffy.

Whatever the opposite of confederate money is, the Cubs got it.

Heyward for less, Zobrist for a really reasonable number, must be nice.

So Heyward to Cubs, do Cards jump at Chris Davis now?

If Heyward had gone to the Nats, and we assume they eventually keep Harper, that would have given them 3 players with $200+ million contracts.

Hopefully.

But I don't see them going anywhere near 8/200.

Papelbon factor.

People like playing for Madden.

Papelbon factor.

Could be worse, they could have Puig.

Great moves by the Cubs to take Lackey and Heyward away from their rival.

[Can_of_corn]

People like playing for Madden.

If he can consistently get premium free agents to play for him for less then yes, he is the hands down best manager in the game.

As everyone knows, the Cubs haven't won the Series since 1908. Being a part of the team that breaks that Curse would be legendary for them.

Question is will they offer more than $150MM...IMO I doubt it they are not usually a team to overpay. More likely they move on to Upton/Gordon
