The team announced the deal and, according to
multiple reports, the three-year deal is worth $61 million
covering the 2024-26 seasons. The Cubs avoided arbitration in
January by signing Happ to a one-year, $10.85 million contract
for 2023.
He made his first All-Star team and won his first Gold Glove in
2022, batting .271 with 17 homers and 72 RBIs in 158 games.
Entering Wednesday, Happ was batting .314 with a .981 OPS
through 10 games.
Happ, 28, is a career .250 hitter with 105 homers and 314 RBIs
in 688 games since making his Cubs debut in 2017.
