Should The Cubs Extend Nico Hoerner In 2023?

The money has been flowing for players from the Chicago Cubs ownership.

They have spent this offseason signing big-name players to deals for 2023.

However, they also have worked on some contracts with their current roster of players.

But one player has yet to see the money flowing into his pocket.

That player is Nico Hoerner, who is a key part of the Cubs defense heading into 2023.

While there are no contract talks currently, should the Cubs engage in talks and extend Hoerner in 2023?

Hoerner Is A Defensive Gem That The Cubs Need

Hoerner is a player with plenty of positives about him.

While he played shortstop last season, he’s also played second base during his time with the Cubs.

With the signing of shortstop Dansby Swanson, it’s clear Hoerner will head back to second base for 2023.

Having him gives the Cub’s middle of the infield two Gold Glove-worthy players.
