Official: Cubs announced 6-year extension with second baseman Nico Hoerner this morning.
Hoerner now has the potential to be in a Cubs uniform for 14 seasons — something only 11 players in franchise history can claim. Four of them (Banks, Sandberg, Santo and Williams) have statues at Wrigley Field.
"I'm really happy for him. I’m really happy for this organization. He obviously means a lot to not only this team, but the city and really embodies what it means to be a Cub. So being able to have him here for the next six-plus years is awesome.”
