• Hoerner’s Extension Creates Uncertain Future for Shaw, Rojas
Nico Hoerner’s extension, which was first reported on Thursday evening, wrapped up a fantastic offseason for Jed Hoyer and the Cubs. The deal broke after the Cubs lost their Opening Day matchup to the Washington Nationals, but I will count it as having been done in the offseason because most of those negotiations would have … The post Hoerner’s Extension Creates Uncertain Future for Sh...2026

• Alex Bregman Ready to Mentor Pete Crow-Armstrong with ‘Nerdy Approach’

Alex Bregman’s reputation precedes him as a hard-working baseball junkie. A major reason the Cubs signed him to a five-year, $175 million deal is the mentorship he can offer the team’s young core. While appearing on David Kaplan’s podcast, Jed Hoyer discussed how Bregman wanted to align with the organization’s hitting plans when speaking with … The post Alex Bregman Ready to Mentor Pete Crow...2026

The Cubs made a big addition to their infield this week by signing Alex Bregman to a five-year deal.
