They just acquired Chapman from the Reds.

Ehhhh, not so fast on this, apparently:

Dodgers' Deal For Chapman Not Yet Complete

2:33pm: ESPN’s Jayson Stark tweets that the Reds are now telling other clubs no trade for Chapman has been agreed upon. Stark certainly implies that the Dodgers believed a trade to be done, adding: “I don’t think [the] Dodgers agree.”

Agreed. Heyward's defensive abilities would play very well in San Fran. Great clubhouse guy, only 26 years old. His gap power would lead to a ton of doubles/triples there. The other option I like better than Cespedes is J Upton.

I think there's about zero chance we are in on Heyward...waaaaaay too rich for our blood.

Respectfully disagree. Earlier projections had him getting up to 10/200. Seeming outrageous numbers, but he's only 26, and that's "only" $20mm/yr. We can still afford that next year, and for the years following, it just becomes part of the equation.

I don't think money would be the real issue, IMHO.

Possibly. I do think he would be a good fit. Easy for me to say, its not my money.
