Should trade him while he still has value.

Shoulder injection…isn’t a permanent thing. Enjoy Wright while you can.

I haven’t seen any Heyward news but let me guess. He’s worked all winter to change X and he will be back to the player he was in Atlanta. This story has been recycled for a long time now.

I scimmed it and yes.. something about being with FF again and changing his swing completely that he will be back to his old ways. rinse repeat.

I wanted to take a flyer on Heyward as a 4th outfielder. As only a ST invite, what do you have to lose?

Then again, I always want to take a flyer on Heyward because I love him.

I don’t think it’s tough to look good in batting practice as a major leaguer

 

[MadduxFanII]

I really don't think anyone has any actual expectations for Heyward at this point, spring training happy talk notwithstanding.

Just read this tidbit on battery :


Max Fried and Spencer Strider were among the pitchers for The Atlanta Braves that took part in a live batting practice session Wednesday in North Port. Pitchers were working with the pitch clock in an effort to get ready for the upcoming season. Max Fried struck out Ronald Acuña Jr. in his first at-bat, but Acuña got revenge later taking Fried deep for a home run.

Didn't yates have no issues last year? His velocity was down to 93-94 though.

I think reddit has video of Acuna taking Fried deep and Strider making Acuna look foolish. To me it looked like he struck him out with 4 strikes.

Yates pitched in MLB games at the end of last year with no issues. He was just bad

If Strider makes close to 30 starts he will win the Cy Young this year

 

[Garmel]

Ian strikes out Harris with his new slider. Of course, nothing will matter unless he can throw strikes.

At least he's trying something to keep him in the show. The fastball/change combo just wasn't going to cut it long term.

Anderson being a contributor goes a long way to making me feel better about the rotation this season
