Braves trade outfielder Jason Heyward

ATLANTA — “Zach, I’m overwhelmed by it all right now because the fans have been awesome to me. I grew up in Georgia watching the Braves play. I got the opportunity to be on the other side from the players’ perspective and to play for the great Bobby Cox, the great Chipper Jones and others that have come through here, and for me, the fans have been awesome to me. So I just want to thank them for their support,” he said.
