Hoerner had Rizzo on his mind when he agreed to contract extension with Cubs. McGrawDHSports Cubs
It used to be Rizzo's locker, so Hoerner wants to keep a link to the Cubs' recent successful history. The gloves also honor Rizzo's dachshund named Kevin, who continues to keep a strong social media presence in New York.
"Rizz's situation was extremely interesting and could have gone so many different ways," Hoerner said."Obviously a ton of people, myself included, wish he was a Cub for a long time. It's not how it happened and he's in an amazing situation now, playing for a team he enjoys. There's not one perfect way to do this entire thing."
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said the two sides discussed a"million" different scenarios to structure an extension. He also recalled being impressed with Hoerner's knowledge after he made his major league debut with 20 games late in the 2019 season.
