Deal probably means we're keeping Gattis and putting him in LF, and moving JUp to RF. Everyone keeps saying we can't afford both Heyward and Jup so a trade of one of them shouldn't be a surprise.

If it was a simple Heyward for Miller swap, I actually wouldn't mind it that much.... Basically the Braves (and I don't blame them) came to the conclusion that Heyward isn't going to become what they thought. At least not with them. It pretty much went the same with Jeff Francoeur. Goldenboy dude busted upon the scene, looked like he was gonna be with the club for 15 years, was traded and never signed longed term figuring he was a bust. So far, they've been right.
We'll have to see with Heyward but they're figuring the same thing.
Lol wait. So Freeman and Kimbrel are safe when they could get a fleecing in return. What a joke this front office is.
Guess Bobby didn't care for Heyward. Ya know since he likes to rescue his boys.

so we toss Upton and use the Upton/Jhey money on Shields.........then we lose 80 games 1-0 or 2-0.
Would be nice to get Alex Jackson and D.J. Peterson from Seattle plus Walker... probably too much for Upton but that would be a sweet haul.

Think about this stat.
2014 .169 BA .252 OBP and 2 HR that is Jason Heyward's line against LH pitching in 2014. He has not been the same since getting hit in the head.
