Massively under-performed the contract obviously, but I'm glad the typical representative Cub fan can contextualize what he did bring to the table in his time with the Cubs.
Lots of chatter about if the Cubs will/should go after a SS in the off-season (deja vu). Of these options, which would you pick?
1. Dansby Swanson
2. Trea Turner
3. Xander Bogaerts
4. Carlos Correa
5. Stick with Nico and spend the money elsewhere
I like Nico, but are his injury issues going to be ongoing? This offense needs legit power -- they need to add some home runs somewhere. I'd pass on Turner -- I know he's a great player, but I don't think he's what our lineup needs. I'd be good with Bogaerts, Swanson, Correa...I think in that order, and then move Hoerner to 2B and hope he stays healthy.
And, yes -- Heyward would've been DFA'd in NY long ago. Their fans would've relentlessly booed him. They really are one of the worst fanbases.
