When they're saddled with a 700 OPS player earning 28M they can't move in 2 years, you'll see.

:coffee:

Why would they need to move him?

In 2 years the cubs will be getting a new tv contract like the yankees and dodgers so they'll spend even more and all the young cubs players schwarber,russell,bryant,baez will be 1st time arbitration eligible in 2018/2019

I thought people were joking when they talked about Heyward getting a monster contract last year. Then it happened. Absolutely nothing in his playing career suggested he'd ever be worth this kind of money.

The Cubs have so many studs on cheap deals it won't hurt them that much, but this will go down as one of the worst deals in MLB history and exhibit A as why you cannot strictly use analytics to judge a player.

This, the cubs knew they over paid but with so many young players on cheap deals they won't have a problem till the last 2-3 years of it. They pretty much paying him 28 mill a year in the hopes that he makes a couple of great defensive plays in the playoffs that might be the difference in breaking the curse. But Joe gotta drop him in the lineup to 7th or 8th.

:mjlol:

This overrated nikka just along for the ride at this point. Cubs are on a tear, though, so if he does come to life at some point this season it'll be an added bonus for them.
