Cubs extend Crow-Armstrong, signaling a cornerstone move for the franchise
The Chicago Cubs and center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong agreed to a contract extension ahead of Opening Day, a move that cements the 24-year-old as a long-term cornerstone pending a medical review. Crow-Armstrong followed a standout first half with a 31-homer, 35-steal, 37-doubles season (a 30-30-30 achievement) and earned an All-Star nod and a Gold Glove, reinforcing the Cubs’ plan to build around him as they push toward sustained success in Chicago.
