Jason Heyward is here with the Cubs for this weekend’s series against the Cardinals. Will the same be true the next time the rivals roll into Busch?
The former Cardinal’s sustained struggles to produce league-average offense combined with the Cubs’ shift into a shameless rebuilding mode has the hero of Chicago’s 2016 World Series rain delay existing in an uncomfortable spot.
The Cubs once again are asking their fans for patience until they think their time is right to make another run.
Heyward is a struggling veteran blocking playing time of younger players with more potential upside.
