Nico Hoerner Vows to Retire a Chicago Cub
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner made a powerful statement this week regarding his future with the organization, vowing to retire as a Cub. Speaking at a team event, Hoerner, who has emerged as one of the most beloved players in recent years, expressed his deep commitment to the Cubs, promising to give everything he has to the team for as long as he plays.
“I’ve always been proud to wear this jersey, and it’s where I want to be for the long haul,” Hoerner said. “I want to finish my career here, be part of something special with this team, and help bring another championship to Chicago.”
Hoerner’s remarks come after several years of solidifying his place as a fan favorite. Known for his exceptional defense and consistent bat, the Gold Glove-winning second baseman has become a key leader on a young, rebuilding Cubs roster. Since his debut in 2020, Hoerner has earned the trust of both fans and teammates alike, with his work ethic and versatility setting him apart.
The Cubs’ front office has expressed its appreciation for Hoerner’s leadership, and reports indicate that the team is already discussing contract extensions, with the hope of locking down the 26-year-old for the long term.
Fans of the Cubs are elated by Hoerner’s commitment, and many are eager to see him remain at the heart of the Cubs’ infield for years to come. As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Hoerner as he continues his journey with the team, with the promise of retirement in Chicago still looming large.
“I want to build something here,” Hoerner concluded. “This city and this team have given me so much, and I want to give it all back.”
