Rudy Pemberton said:Is Heyward the kind of guy you'd want to give a 10 year, $200 - $250M deal? Because I have to assume that's what it will take. He'll only be 26 as a free agent, which is great, but he's also been relatively inconsistent. Someone's gonna give him a ton of money.
No, but at 8 years $150 would you be complaining? It's a lot of money, but could potentially be a wash or even a bargain and the Braves likely can't afford even that.
Maybe you can't get him with Cespedes and lesser prospects, but if you offer something like Cespedes/Owens + for Heyward with an extension window, do they bite?
