Cubs Lock Up Hoerner, Crow-Armstrong for Future

On March 27, Chicago Cubs' second-basement Niko Harner has agreed to a six-year contract

extension according to sources close to the deal.

The 28-year-old standout is wrapping up his current three-year pact worth $35 million.

This commitment comes right after the Cubs' locked-up center-fueled or p-crow Armstrong

with a six-year deal valued at $115 million.

They announced that one following Thursday's opening day lost to Washington.

Harner played a big role in last season's success, helping Chicago win 92 games and reached

a playoffs for the first time since 20.

20.

He batted close to 300, swiped 29 bases, drove in 61 runs, and earned his second goal

glove award.

The former first round pick out of Stanford debuted back in 2019, and broke out two years

later.

Now entering his prime, he's focused on the current campaign rather than peeking ahead.

These moves signal the Cubs pushed to build a contender for years, blending young talent

with immediate play-op hopes.
