MESA, Ariz. — The Cubs’ defense made history on Sunday, with three players winning Gold Glove Awards to set a franchise record. Second baseman Nico Hoerner claimed his first career Gold Glove Award. Shortstop Dansby Swanson and left fielder Ian Happ took home the award in their respective position groups for the second straight season.
“Really cool anytime you can be a part of Cubs history like that,” Happ said in a Zoom news conference with the three winners. “[Being the] first to do something is pretty special. The organization has been around a long time.”
