"The extension is nominally six years and $141 million, but the deferrals will reduce that down to 'the mid $130Ms.' So for right now, let's just think about this as six years and $135M."
"Nico Hoerner slashed .297/.345/.394 (109 wRC+) and was worth 4.8 fWAR. According to Baseball Reference's version of WAR, he registered 6.2 WAR, eighth most in ALL OF BASEBALL among position players."
"From July 29 on, Nico Hoerner was a fundamentally different, even better hitter than he's ever been before: .313/.361/.431 (123 wRC+). The average was a touch higher, the OBP was better, and he was actually, finally slugging above .400."
Nico Hoerner's extension with the Chicago Cubs is for six years and approximately $135 million after deferrals. This deal reflects his near-free agency status and manageable luxury tax hit. At 28 years old, Hoerner is a valuable player, having slashed .297/.345/.394 last season with a 4.8 fWAR. His performance improved significantly in the latter part of the season, showcasing his potential for even greater success moving forward.
