Nico Hoerner Signs 4th Biggest Contract for A Second Baseman in MLB History

Wow! Nico Hoerner’s six-year contract extension is reportedly worth $141 million, according to Jon Heyman, among others. The Chicago Cubs made sure that Hoerner was not going to be tempted in free agency and sign elsewhere, as they once again dipped their toes into the deferred money game to get an extension done with the Gold Glove second baseman.

The $141 million contract for Hoerner is now the fourth biggest guarantee in MLB history at his position behind Robinson Cano, Marcus Semien and Jose Altuve.
