Hoerner got added competition for playing time at shortstop in 2022 when the Cubs added Andrelton Simmons on Friday, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
Hoerner appeared in 44 games for the Cubs in 2021, slashing a solid .302/.382/.369. Simmons, meanwhile, posted a .223/.283/.274 line with Minnesota. The latter is known for his defensive abilities, but the 24-year-old Hoerner has a definite path to playing time if he can outproduce the veteran at the plate by a significant margin.
