Dansby Swanson, the last of the big four free agent shortstops to reach terms this offseason, appears to be leaving his hometown team for the Windy City.
According to multiple reports, the Kennesaw native and Marietta High School graduate has agreed to a $177 million, seven-year deal with the Chicago Cubs — netting him an average of $25.3 million per year.
After six-plus seasons with the Atlanta Braves, Swanson is reaping the benefits of a breakout season and a fruitful market for free agent shortstops. Before Swanson, Trea Turner (Phillies), Xander Bogaerts (Padres) and Carlos Correa (Giants) had previously agreed to contracts of more than 10 years, with total values well beyond $200 million apiece.
