The 2022 season will mark Jason Heyward’s last as a player with the Cubs, but not necessarily his future with the organization.
He wants to play in 2023, Hoyer said, and by releasing him, he’ll have a full offseason to land with a new club.
Heyward is a respected voice and leader in the clubhouse who’s heavily involved in the Chicagoland community. The Jason Heyward Baseball Academy broke ground in North Austin last summer. And while they decided it’s time to part ways with him as a player as they look to the future during this rebuild, the Cubs want him to be involved with the organization whenever he hangs up his spikes.Said Hoyer: “He's in the community, his leadership with the young players, the way he goes about everything on a day-to-day basis, the way he prepares to play, the way he prepares in the offseason are all top notch.
