"The Cubs locked up star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and veteran second baseman Nico Hoerner on contracts that will keep both players in town through the end of the 2032 season."
"Sixty percent of the club's starting rotation is slated to hit free agency after the season, including Shota Imanaga, Matthew Boyd, and Jameson Taillon."
"Happ has been the club's longest-tenured player and a consistent presence on offense, slashing .250/.346/.435 with a wRC+ of 119 since 2022."
"Happ's wRC+ has fallen between 116 and 122 in each of the last four years, and he has been awarded the NL's Gold Glove for his work in left field."
The Cubs secured contracts for Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner through 2032. However, they risk losing significant talent, including 60% of their starting rotation and outfielders Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ, who have not yet engaged in extension talks. Happ has been a consistent performer, never posting a below-average season and earning Gold Glove awards. His offensive consistency and historical significance to the franchise make him a valuable asset as the team navigates potential free agency losses.
