Chicago, Iowa Cubs agree to 2-year contract extension

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Cubs agreed to a two-year contract extension with Iowa Cubs, guaranteeing at least 38 years of partnership between the teams.

The affiliation between Iowa and Chicago began in 1981, making it the eighth-longest current affiliate relationship between a major league team and a minor league club.

"Our long-standing relationship with the Chicago Cubs is a source of pride for our organization and our community," Iowa Cubs President/General Manager Sam Bernabe said. "This extension shows that the Cubs appreciate the work our staff does to provide a top notch facility and operation to support their players and staff members throughout the year."
