Should the Chicago Cubs extend Willson Contreras? or is he gone? I make the case to keep him:

He's probably gone

I'm afraid you are right. Myself would like for him to stay. He is very valuable to young ballclub.

He’s playing too well to keep. You can get a much better return than what Cubs got for Bryant, Baez, and Rizzo if Willy keeps it up.

Yeah, but that’s because he’s actually a better player than Bryant, Baez, and Rizzo…thus, actually worth considering keeping him around. Especially since he plays a position that’s extremely difficult to find great players at
At the end of the day, the Cubs won’t negotiate out of a place of need. They will/have made Willy their offer, and if he isn’t interested in what they are offering, he will get moved

He is 30. The Cubs have been waiting for Amaya for awhile. They are going to trade him cause we probably have another 2 years before anything real competitive.
I just think they arent going to pass up the haul for him. Teams will covet him at the deadline.

I know and I don’t disagree. Similar to last season, I just really like Willson

I will repeat my previous statement that the Cubs should make a take it or leave it offer of 4 years, 80 million. No idea if there's any truth to it, but I heard his camp is seeking 5 years, 150 million. If true, that's a hard pass for me.

Keep in mind you can trade him and try to sign him in the offseason. No one gives a hometown discount anymore with so many years of team control now. This is Willy’s big payday so if you really want to keep him, pay the man, but there is no reason why you couldn’t trade him first.
