The Obvious Choice for Next Chicago Cubs Contract Extension

As we wait to see the details on Pete Crow-Armstrong’s deal, fans have to be wondering who the Chicago Cubs will try to sign to a contract extension next. It shouldn’t take too long to think about because the answer is obvious. Picked in the 2018 MLB Draft and debuting in 2019, Nico Hoerner is not only one of the longest-tenured players on the team, but you can also argue that he embodies everything the Cubs want from their stars.

Hoerner may be underrated around MLB, but there’s no question how valuable he’s been with the Cubs.
