According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Cubs are finalizing a contract agreement with free agent shortstop Dansby Swanson.
Swanson will receive a seven-year, $177 million deal, which also includes a full no-trade clause, per Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports. The 28-year-old shortstop, who posted a .776 OPS with 25 home runs and 18 stolen bases last year with the Braves, was the last superstar-caliber position player remaining in the free agent pool. He'll pair with second baseman Nico Hoerner in Chicago to form the best middle infield defensive tandem in baseball.
