Sources: Cubs, OF Ian Happ agree on 3-year, $61M extension

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs are in agreement with outfielder Ian Happ on a 3-year, $61 million extension, sources tell ESPN.

The deal includes a full no-trade clause.

Happ, 28, was set to become a free agent after the 2023 season but will remain in Chicago through at least 2026 as his new contract begins next year.

After finishing eighth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2017, Happ struggled to stay in the big leagues, seeing his strikeout percentage balloon to 36 percent the following season. But over time, he matured both as a hitter and an outfielder.
