Wow. It\u2019s been quite the week for Chicago sports. From <\/span>trade requests on the Bears<\/span><\/a>, to injuries for the White Sox, and release announcements with the Cubs. A lot has happened. We won\u2019t focus on the Bears\u2019 trade requests or the<\/span> latest White Sox injuries<\/span><\/a> today though, instead we\u2019re looking north to the latest Cubs news<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, Jed Hoyer, the team\u2019s President of Baseball Operations, spoke to the media and let everyone know that this would be the final year for Jason Heyward on the Cubs. It was interesting timing to announce the move on Monday night, with Heyward\u2019s birthday occurring on Tuesday, but we\u2019ll digress. While next year is technically the final year of his contract with the team, the statements made by the front office indicate that the agreement will be cut short.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, <\/span>based on reports<\/span><\/a>, it sounds like both sides are in an agreement that this is the best route going forward. Heyward wants to play, and the Cubs want to focus on developing younger talent. It just makes sense that they plan on cutting him loose to make him a free-agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, with Jason Heyward on his way out, let\u2019s take a look at his top 5 moments in a Cubs\u2019 uniform.<\/span><\/p>\n
