This is one of those days it feels to be wrong. So very wrong. I had no optimism whatsoever that Jason Heyward would depart the St. Louis Cardinals, much less reportedly agree to terms with the Cubs.
Multiple sources indicate Heyward has indeed chosen Cubs over Cards, Nats.

Heyward deal less than $185m. Believed to be eight years.

In so many ways, this opens doors for the Cubs that may not have been open had Heyward not agreed to terms.
