When camp opened, Cubs president Jed Hoyer said the organization would like to sit down with its three superstars to discuss the possibility of long-term deals this spring. All three players spoke about the matter this week and are receptive to the idea. There’s no guarantee that anything gets done before the team breaks camp, but the fact that all sides are willing to listen is a good place to start. Related “It’s the best time of year to have those conversations,” Hoyer said. “I think the danger of having those discussions or opening things up publicly is this notion that if you don’t get something done by Opening Day, talks failed or fell apart. So I think there’s a real risk in that and not with us. . . . I’d love to have conversations with these guys and their agents, kind of talk through where we are.
