If the Chicago Cubs want to begin mending fences with their fan base, inking some contract extensions may not be a bad place to start.
Given how the front office behaved at this year's trade deadline, it's clear that the Cubs' brass is focused on the long-term health of their team. With this in mind, there are some intriguing options for contract extensions as we head into the final weeks of the regular season. This is not typically a time where extensions are locked down, but the Red Sox just made a big move by locking rookie Roman Anthony into an eight-year deal, so it's not unheard of.
