Seventh in the series. Today we look at the Cubs’ veteran second baseman. Nico Hoerner, a 28-year-old two-time Gold Glover and potential .300 hitter, is entering the last year of his contract, with retention likely but uncertain.

With a strong infield alongside players like Dansby Swanson and Alex Bregman, Hoerner is positioned to excel offensively and defensively this season.
