Wouldn't be shocked to see Theo try and buy low-ish on Andrew
Miller.

Miller would be interesting, but it depends on what is going on
with his knee.

Don't the Cubs have the option of opting-out on Jason Heyward's
contract this off-season ?

The 2018 option is Heyward's. In 2019 it applies if he reaches
550 plate appearances.

There are no club buyouts anywhere in J-Hey's contract, are
there?
One element of going after Bryce, of course, is that you're
going to have to play Heyward in CF (or bench him) for the rest
of his deal. He can play there of course, but he might not be
thrilled about it. And will he still be a decent defensive CF
in three years?

He’d be 32 so there shouldn’t be a ton of decline and if he can
stay league average-ish with the bat it plays a lot better in
CF.

An awful lot of guys decline precipitously in CF by their early
30's. It's a serious worry.

True. Not so much for those that can play a decent RF.
