Any chance Heyward lands in SF? They were interested in trading for him

I honestly don’t see that seeing they already have a crowded outfield. Unless they don’t trust pences health, I don’t see them signing heward

Heyward is better than any of the other OF options SF currently has.

I think Heyward in stl is a good fit the cards can afford him and as far as a crowded outfield goes with Holiday’s age and the injury history of Holiday Grichuck and Jay the cards probably need 4 or 5 starting outfielders

The one thing about Heyward is he is the most well-rounded of any of the Cardinals outfielders. And with the emergence of a great batting average, he can do a little bit of everything on the field, which is important. Much like Molina, Heyward day in and day out hustles, doesn’t take much for granted, and has a pretty consistent skill set. Is his power were you’d like it? Probably not. But if he hits 15 HRs with a .290 BA and provides Gold Glove defense, that is a player with keeping.
And who knows, maybe eventually his power will come back to him. He’s still only 26. I just don’t know if the Cardinals would want to outbid the Yankees or any other top payroll team.
