MINNEAPOLIS – The better Marcus Stroman continues to pitch, the more it makes sense for him to opt out of the final year of his three-year, $71 million contract with the Cubs. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s on his way out after this season.
“I’ve been open with the front office here, been very vocal that I want to be here and I want an extension, that I don’t want to honestly make it to free agency,” Stroman told the Sun-Times. “But I’m also very confident in my abilities in free agency. I’ve always bet on myself.”
