Astros, Heyward Strike Deal

Heyward Brings Experience to Houston

Veteran Outfielder Joins Astros for Stretch Run

The Houston Astros have acquired outfielder Jason Heyward from the Chicago Cubs in a trade deadline deal. Heyward, a two-time Gold Glove winner and former All-Star, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Astros as they make a push for the playoffs.

Heyward is a versatile outfielder who can play all three positions. He is also a solid hitter with a career batting average of .260 and an on-base percentage of .342. In 2022, Heyward is batting .269 with 8 home runs and 39 RBIs.

The Astros are hoping that Heyward can provide a boost to their offense and defense. The team is currently in first place in the AL West, but they have been struggling to score runs lately.

Heyward is excited to join the Astros and help them make a run at the World Series. He said, "I'm looking forward to contributing to this team and helping them win a championship."
