EDGE Analysis
Hendricks will make a guaranteed $63 million from 2019 to 2023, including his previously-negotiated salary for this season, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. The extension keeps the 29-year-old in a hitter-friendly park for the next several years. He hasn't had trouble navigating Wrigley Field thus far in his five-year major-league career, as his home ERA of 2.74 easily outpaces his road mark of 3.41.
