[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1439940, member: 26283"] Sure there is. Heyward’s not a bad player. He’s an overpriced player. There’s a difference. If he were to hit the open market now, he’d make $10-$12M a year. So the Cubs just need to absorb some other team’s contracts that would effectively reduce Heyward’s cost from the $21M per year he’s signed at. The Giants are commonly associated with the Cubs and Heyward because they need an upgrade in the outfield and they have some bad contracts to get rid of - Melancon, Samardjiza and Cueto to name three. I could see something like a three team trade where Happ or Schwarber goes to team X, Heyward and prospects from team X go to the Giants, and Melancon goes to the Cubs. The Cubs would only do that if they thought they were going to sign Harper. [/QUOTE]
