I agree. I just do not think it takes anything away from the season. AND, the contract has six years left to justify its existence. The only issue worth talking about is SCOREBOARD !
Agreed. If I was a Cubs fan, I wouldn't be the least bit worried about Heyward's contract right now. My whole point in this thread was revisiting the argument from last offseason for all the people that said it was a fantastic signing. Others twisted it into a debate on whether or not it hurt the Cubs.
IT'S A GREAT SIGNING! He contributed to a World Series win!
Maybe your team didn't win a World Series after coughing up a bad contract and millions of dollars, so you don't know....
But the Jason Heyward signing and the Barry Zito signing and the Edgar Renteria signing .... ALL good deals.
Because the teams won the World Series. If you had asked the Cubs to give $180M to Buddy Biancalana, in exchange for a WS title, they would've done it in a heartbeat. Maybe it's revisionist, but the deal has paid off ALREADY.
