Willson Contreras said the Cubs did not talk about a possible extension during talks on their one-year agreement to avoid an arbitration hearing.
But he admitted for the first time Friday that as much as he felt prepared for what the team might say against him in a hearing, he had doubts about how he might handle it afterward.
Despite the looming, midseason arbitration hearing — and potential distraction of his status as a trade candidate — Contreras is off to the best start of his career and all but assured of his third All-Star selection. Like Contreras, the Cubs viewed Wednesday night’s discussions as independent of any extension consideration, and Contreras said that was not discussed during the process.“I feel like I won,” said Contreras, who appeared to be in a strong position to win his case had he gone to the hearing. “I have nothing to regret for not going to arbitration. The other side of my mind says ‘you don’t need to go there.
