Wasn't Heyward only under contract for a year or two. The braves always seem to do well in trades. I wonder who the minor league pitcher will turn out to be.

Yep, last year of his contract and is more than likely the reason for the move.

The Braves need hitting more than a gold glove outfielder

I would have dealt BJ Upton before Heyward although I doubt they could get any takers for Upton.

Not a very good trade, with him and Walden. Miller was 10-9 with a 3.74 ERA and then a minor league pitcher. Heyward was a great defensive outfielder even tho his bat never lived up to the hype. They really need some .300 hitters and hope the pitching stays healthy for once. Hopefully they bring Santana back, but 2B and RF are now 2 open slots in the line up.

Miller is only 23 and he is under contract for 4 years

I was shocked to see Heyward has only hit over 20 homers once in his career. His contract is up after 2015

Well yeah the bottomline was they didn't want to pay him after this year. They will have to make a decision on J. Upton next as his contract is up after this season too.

off-season. Only a few players are safe: Teheran, Wood, Kimbrel, Freeman, Simmons.

Atlanta traded him to the Cubs for Vizcaion who the Braves previously traded to Chicago year ago.

I don't necessarily think that is a bad idea...

But I don't think the Braves feel the same way.

HEYWARD has been a big disappointment-average power for a big guy-wish they could get rid of BJ Upton
