Impact Now the team's longest-tenured player following midseason trades of Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez, Contreras said he would like to stick around in Chicago as the club rebuilds, though he admitted he'd like to see the organization approach that process aggressively before deciding on an extension. "I'm not sure how long it's going to take," Contreras said. "I wish I could have a timeframe for that rebuild, but I'm here to help this team to win in as many ways as I can." The 29-year-old catcher has a .778 OPS and 21 home runs this season, and he should remain among the top fantasy options at the position next year at age 30.
