Heyward buying hotel suite for ex-Brave all season

Former Braves catcher David Ross, now with the Cubs, has said this season will be his last in the majors.

And another former Braves player, Jason Heyward, wants the veteran Ross to be as comfortable as possible.

According to MLB.com, Heyward is paying for Ross to have a hotel suite when Chicago is on the road this season -- all season.

The two players had side-by-side lockers when they played for the Braves. They were reunited when the outfielder signed with the Cubs as a free agent in the offseason.

The 38-year-old Ross has played 14 seasons in the majors. He played for seasons for the Braves from 2009-2012, the last three seasons as Heyward's teammate.

"That's one of the first emotional moments I had in the offseason," Ross said. "(Heyward) texted me this nice long message about supposedly what I've done for him. That was cool to start reflecting back and people you've played with start saying nice things."
