Jason Heyward wants to prove he's not a waste of a contract or a roster spot. So far this spring, he's not accomplishing that. The right fielder, who is among the highest paid players in baseball, went 0-for-3 on Sunday, and has lowered his average to a miniscule .125 so far. It's not even that he's not getting hits, he's not making remotely solid contact. We're now just 11 days from the regular season and it's already looking like another lost year for the still young player.
My take for today:#Cubs Jason Heyward will figure it out offensively in 2019. His drop off is mystifying, but I find it hard to believe that he won’t figure it out. He’s still just 29 years old. I’ve got some hope left for him.
