The Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner combination should be fun to watch for several years.

The Cubs are hoping that Swanson and Hoerner can form a strong middle infield tandem for years to come, helping to anchor a team that is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2022 season.

With their youth, talent, and chemistry on the field, the future looks bright for the Cubs and their dynamic duo of Swanson and Hoerner.

During Opening Day in the third inning, Swanson hit a RBI single on the right side of the infield to put the Cubs up 1-0. On an errant throw, Nico Hoerner was able to score to make the Cubs up 2-0.

As the season progresses, Cubs fans will be eagerly watching to see what kind of impact Swanson and Hoerner can make together, both at the plate and in the field.

If their early performance on Opening Day is any indication, the "Dansby and Nico" combination could be a force to be reckoned with in the National League for years to come.
