Okay, Cardinals Nation. You folks are so quick to buy into St. Louis ownership's annual summer Kool Aid drinking ritual...put this in your memory bank for a 2016 reference. The Cardinals will not re-sign Jason Heyward. The company line will be...Piscotty at first base, Pham in centerfield, Holiday in left field and Grichuk in right field. Fourth outfielder will be Jay.
We are committed to Holiday's contract. The others (Piscotty, Grichuk, Pham and Jay) are the cheapest way to go. Never mind that Heyward and Carpenter are your two best hitters. Never mind that Heyward is among the top four defensive outfielders in all of baseball. Never mind that Heyward is your best base runner. And for good measure, never mind that Heyward has one of the best batting averages against the best pitcher in the National League Central Division...that pitcher is Jake Arrieta.
Mark it on your calendar...first day of spring training no Jason Heyward wearing the Birds on the Bat.
