The Cubs haven’t approached Rizzo about redoing his deal to make him a Cub for life, though he hopes it happens eventually.
“We’ve been through a lot together in this organization,” he said, referring to President Theo Epstein and general manger Jed Hoyer. “We’ve seen it grow.”
I wrote here in November 2017 that I hoped the Cubs would extend Rizzo. Currently, his deal officially expires at the end of this season, though the Cubs have two team-friendly option years for 2020 and 2021 that they will almost certainly exercise.
Or, they could tear those up and just extend him beginning in 2020.
