The departure of Jason Heyward is still a controversial and often sore subject amongst Braves fans. After being a widely heralded prospect who quickly ascended the minor league ranks and proceeded to homer in his first at-bat, Heyward endeared himself with many fans with his defensive genius and glimpses of the promise he held at the plate.
However, we know how this story ended: Heyward did not reach his offensive ceiling in Atlanta and while his defense was (and still is) amongst the best in the league, the Braves and Heyward very clearly did not see eye to eye regarding a contract extension.
