I'm shocked that you're all so down on Heyward. Dude was 6th in outfield fWAR last year, behind A.J. Pollock and four MVP candidates. He outdid McCutchen.
He's also twenty-six, and his contact rate and batting eye are both trending hugely in the right direction. I suspect he has more power than he's let on, as well. He hit 27 bombs in 2012, and his groundball rate from last year looks like a massive aberration.
I actually really like this deal for Theo, et al. $23 million is about what he'd make as a league-average pitcher.
