NASHVILLE, Tenn. • I can hear the dissent drowning out John Ulett, as he helplessly makes the announcement — “Now batting, right fielder, Jason Heyward” — while the bearded Benedict Arnold steps into the Busch batter’s box, under a helmet of blue and a shower of boos.
It could happen. The Cardinals’ primary free-agent target, who was the Cardinals’ top player last season, and who probably will get the largest contract offer in Cardinals history … could sign with the Cubs.
Chicago media outlets have reported the Cubs are in the mix to sign Heyward.
