Heyward and Jordan Walden to STL
Shelby Miller & Tyrell Jenkins to ATL

Heyward is one of these guys that MLB really pushed 3 or 4 years ago to reach out to the minority community, etc.., and he was really never that good of a player. Did not live up to the hype. And the Braves organization is supposed to be good at developing players

I saw Heyward in Rome Georgia and he looked like the next big thing. He was dominant. Injuries hurt him early, but his power never fully came to either. He still has a 2-3 year window to become the guy we though he would be, and you can't tell me there is a better organization than st Louis to get the most out of him.

Also, Miller gone means Wacha back in the rotation?

Cardinals gonna cardinal

heyward will probably win the MVP next year now

His first game ever, in his hometown, crushes a home run with the crowd chanting his name. Very cool, I'll never forget it and I'm an Astros fan

11th in MLB in OF WAR.

He's a pretty good player.

I don't think you are giving him enough credit. He may not have been all-world, but you act like he is a scrub.

He is an above average fielder as well.

Just hope Hayward plays/hits for the Cards like he did his rookie year in the bigs.

I remember when Espn was comparing his first 6 ABs to hank Aaron and I almost laughed. The guy is an above average player
