Second baseman Nico Hoerner agrees to 6-year deal with Cubs, AP source says
The six-year, $141 million deal makes Hoerner part of the Cubs’ long-term core, locking in a top defender who led second basemen in fWAR last season.
- The Chicago Cubs agreed to a six-year contract extension with second baseman Nico Hoerner on Thursday, pending a physical. The deal keeps the two-time Gold Glove winner with the franchise long-term.
- Hoerner was entering the final season of his previous $35 million contract, set to become a free agent after 2026. The extension follows the Cubs' recent six-year deal for center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, confirming the organization's spending strategy.
- During 156 games in 2025, Hoerner posted a career-high 6.2 bWAR and 114 OPS+, leading all second basemen in fWAR. He hit.297 with 61 RBIs while earning his second Gold Glove.
