Dansby Swanson signing shifts Nico Hoerner back to second base. Cubs
The only question was, where?
While he might be more comfortable at short, Hoerner was open to a move as far back as late last season, when it became apparent Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer was going after one of the multiple star shortstops on the free-agent market. Defense has never been a problem. Staying healthy was a big issue for Hoerner in 2021, when he landed on the injured list four times and played only 44 games.
Christopher Morel played all over the field as a rookie last season and was used at second base 33 times. He's a depth option at the position this year.
