Willson Contreras does not want to accept a contract from the Cubs

Everything seems to indicate that things are not going well between the Cubs and Willson Contrerasso his departure soon is something that only needs to be official, since the Venezuelan refused to accept an offer from the team this year and must go to an arbitration hearing to find out how much money he will earn in the 2022 season of Big leagues.

According to sources, the Venezuelan player requested $10.25M, and the Cubs only offered $9M.

Contreras has stated that there was no talk of the contract extension with the Cubs and that he sees his departure from this organization as close and after not having agreed on the last offer, the mask in his last contract season could be exchanged like his former teammates and stars Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Báez.
