Chicago Cubs Agree to Contract Extension with Another Home-Grown Star

In the grand scheme of things, the Chicago Cubs came out winners on Opening Day as the organization once again secured another one of their home-grown stars. A few days after agreeing to a long-term extension with Pete Crow-Armstrong, Jed Hoyer was able to agree on a six-year contract extension with Gold Glove second baseman Nico Hoerner.

The Cubs now have their entire infield locked up through at least the 2029 season, and Hoerner joins Crow-Armstrong as the two linked stars who will be with the team through the 2032 season.
