He said he is not breaking off talks, but added: 'That also doesn't mean anything.'
All-Star outfielder Ian Happ appears poised to enter the season with an expiring contract after he and the Cubs were unable to agree on a new deal.
Happ is eligible for free agency after the upcoming season. The Cubs host the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day on Thursday. "Super happy for him and that he's really happy about how everything went down, about the fact that he's going to be here with security," Happ said."That's the most fulfilling part, as a teammate and a friend and having been so close with him for so long. Being able to watch just how excited he is to be here for the next three years is really cool."
