Summary
The Chicago Cubs kicked off Opening Day with high hopes, but things didn’t go as planned as they dropped a tough 10-4 loss to the Nationals to start the season. Matthew Boyd mowed down the Nationals lineup for the first time through the order, but fell apart in the 4th inning and the Cubs offense never recovered.
But it’s not all bad news for Cubs fans 👀
In a major breaking news update, the Cubs are reportedly working on an extension for Nico Hoerner — a key piece of their infield and one of the team’s most consistent players. Locking him in long-term would be a huge move for the future of the franchise and a sign that the front office is committed to building a competitive core.
