Eric Hosmer is reportedly very close to signing a deal with the Chicago Cubs. Hosmer is one of the top remaining free agents who brings a wealth of experience to his new team. As a 12 year veteran of the MLB, Hosmer provides an excellent presence in the clubhouse as well as on the field.
Hosmer started last season with the San Diego Padres and ended it with the Boston Red Sox. He played in only 104 games in 2022, but still put up respectable numbers with a batting average of .268.
Jon Heyman reported that the talks between Eric Hosmer and the Chicago Cubs are nearing a conclusion via Twitter.
