Jason Heyward has had a big impact on his Cubs teammates. Nico Hoerner toasts the veteran as he prepares to say goodbye at the end of the season.

Two fans have been banned from Nationals Park for five years following a verbal exchange with Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, according to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune.

In a heated exchange, Contreras was seen shouting at a fan who was escorted from the seating area behind home plate in the 10th inning Tuesday.

Contreras addressed the incident after the game, telling reporters in Washington what the fan said "wasn't healthy" and "was not right."

"If somebody tries to mess with my family, they're going to [have to go through] me first," Contreras told reporters, including MLB.com's Jordan Bastian.

The incident came after Contreras hit a go-ahead sac fly. The Cubs won 7-5 in 11 innings Tuesday.
