Infielder Nico Hoerner and the Chicago Cubs have reportedly reached an agreement on a six-year contract extension. This deal secures another key player for the team's up-the-middle talent. Financial specifics are still undisclosed pending a physical.
Hoerner, aged 28, was scheduled to become a free agent following the 2026 season. He was on the final year of a previous three-year, $35 million deal. In his career, Hoerner has achieved a .282/.340/.384 slash line and has earned two Gold Glove Awards.
The reported extension for Hoerner follows recent news of Pete Crow-Armstrong also agreeing to a six-year deal. This strategic move ensures stability for the Cubs' core players, with Dansby Swanson also under contract through 2029.
