At points, it says he was born both in Michigan and New Jersey. Who's right? Purple backpack89 02:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
His middle name isn't Adenolith, it's Alias. There's a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about it, here. -- Coemgenus ( talk) 13:23, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I'll be glad to review this. I hope to make some initial comments in the next couple of days. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 21:13, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
That's all of the sourcing issues I see at the moment. Will stop there for tonight. EricEnfermero ( Talk) 05:03, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, EricEnfermero, for taking the time to review. I have been on vacation but will be free to address the points you raised in about one week. Elcid.ruderico ( talk) 16:09, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm so sorry that I've lost track of this multiple times. I'm picking back up in the 2011 subsection.
Once we get these things addressed, I may make some copyedits to optimize the phrasing and then I think we'll be able to pass this. I feel like I am already giving you enough to do, so I did not want to quibble over every tiny phrasing issue.
Thanks for your patience! EricEnfermero ( Talk) 02:01, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

CHICAGO CUBS (2015) On December 11th, 2015, Heyward and the Chicago Cubs, according to multiple inside sources, reached a contract agreement for 8 years, 184 million, including an opt-out clause after three years [1]. As of December 13th, 2015, this report has not been confirmed by the official organizationn. Tkelly42198 ( talk) 02:34, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

For a guy who's been a big leaguer for seven full seasons, it seems a little off to include a full paragraph about his minor-league history and prospect rankings in the lead. I think it may be an artifact of the page being created when he was still a minor leaguer. It's obviously one notable aspect of his career, but unlike, say, a Delmon Young or a Todd Van Poppel, Heyward isn't a former top prospect who mostly busted. SS451 ( talk) 15:32, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
I just noticed something odd. In 2017, Heyward went on the disabled list. Exactly one year later to the day, he again went on the disabled list. Not worthy of the article but I thought I would mention it here. ― Buster7 ☎ 16:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
He was placed on unconditional release waivers today, but my understanding is that there's some period of time within which another club could theoretically claim him--although he'd have the right to reject the claim and become a free agent anyway.
That said, I am not one of those people who goes crazy about reverting contract status stuff because it's a day or two early. More curious to see if anyone knows the answer to whether his free agency formally begins now or later. SS451 ( talk) 19:56, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
For an article that is listed as a good article, this one needs a lot of work. It is too long and overly detailed in some places, but is lacking key information at the same time. On the one hand, there are 10 paragraphs on Heyward's minor league career, and there is some statistical minutiae in the article. On the other, there is very little information about the most recent years of Heyward's career, and the article makes no mention of one of the things for which Heyward is most notable: His Cubs franchise record-setting eight-year, $184 million contract, [1] which Sporting News has listed as one of the worst MLB free-agent signings of all time. [2]. I will be working on these issues and welcome others' input. MonMothma ( talk) 13:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
