Cardinals out of the mix for Heyward

It looks like Jason Heyward will be taking his talents somewhere other than St. Louis.

And later confirmed by FOX Sports insiders Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi.

Source: Heyward has made a decision. #cardinals were very aggressive but doesn't sound like he chose them. #cubs very much in play here.

So now that No. 22 is seemingly off the table, what's next? Will Mike Matheny get his number back? Who will John Mozeliak target next? Justin Upton? Back to pitching, for, say, Johnny Cueto?

#STLCards out on Heyward, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. @dgoold had indicated they no longer were in play.

The stove! It is on fire! Let's hear what you think, Cardinals Nation.

The #Stlcards now have sights set on Alex Gordon and plan to aggressively pursue him now that they're out on Heyward.
