The Chicago Cubs are finalizing an extension with outfielder Ian Happ, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
ESPN reported that it’s a three-year, $61 million deal to run from 2024-26. The Cubs avoided arbitration in January by signing Happ to a one-year, $10.85 million contract for this season.
He made his first All-Star team and won his first Gold Glove in 2022, batting .271 with 17 homers and 72 RBIs in 158 games.
Entering Wednesday, Happ was batting .314 with a .981 OPS through 10 games.
Happ, 28, is a career .250 hitter with 105 homers and 314 RBIs in 688 games since making his Cubs debut in 2017.
