No extreme defensive shifts and no Javy Bez anymore make the middle infield a priority for the Cubs to address this winter.
Hoyer and Ross also know they have an incumbent who not only can handle the position but is willing to do his own version of a defensive shift if the team asks, depending on what the roster looks like after the winter.
Even if the Cubs signed one of the bigger names to a long-term deal this winter, it’s at least unclear how the infield assignments might land, if not immediately the over the length of that player’s contract. Hoyer believes in Hoerner enough that the 2018 first-round pick — along with 2015 first-rounder and 2022 All-Star Ian Happ — is expected to get a long-term extension during this first winter of arbitration eligibility.
“So it was pretty easy with him. As long as you’re talking about winning and what can make us great, Nico’s totally on board.”
