Sources told Jeff Passan on Saturday that the Cubs and Dansby Swanson are close to a deal.
According to a source, the deal is for seven years and $177 million.
After winning his first gold glove in 2022, he played in all of the regular season games.
He walked just 49 times and struck out a career high 182 times in his career.
He will take over at second base for the Cubs while Hoerner returns to his previous position as a gold glove finalist.
One of the few Cubs players with championship experience is almost immediately becoming the face of his new franchise, as he is one of the few new faces. He won a title with the Braves.
The Chicago Cubs broke up their World Series squad in the middle of the season. The Cubs went 39-31 in the second half of last year's season, providing some hope for the future. The Cubs made it to the playoffs in five of the six years they have been in it.
The Braves traded the first overall pick in the 2015 draft to the D-backs. He's a.255 hitter in seven seasons, but his offensive production, along with his stellar defense, helped earn him his new contract.
