Hendricks, who is the last remaining player
from the Cubs team that won the World Series in 2016, has won 93
games and pitched to a 3.48 ERA since debuting with the team in
2014. He set career marks in 2016 with 16 wins and led the
majors with a 2.13 ERA. He finished third in the National League
Cy Young Award voting that season.
Hendricks went 6-8 with a 3.74 ERA in 24 starts in 2023. He
opened the season on the injured list with a capsule tear in his
right shoulder and didn't make his season debut until May 25.
The reports also said the team is exercising its $6 million
option on catcher Yan Gomes, who slashed .267/.315/.408 with 10
home runs and 63 RBIs in 116 games last season.
He is a career .248 hitter with 135 home runs and 510 RBIs in 12
seasons with five organizations, the last two with the Cubs.
The Cubs (83-79) narrowly missed making the playoffs as a
National League wild card in 2023, finishing one game behind the
Miami Marlins and the eventual National League champion Arizona
Diamondbacks.
