Cubs Lock Up Pete Crow-Armstrong on Multi-Year, Nine-Figure Extension
The Chicago Cubs have finalized a multi-year, nine-figure contract extension with center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, making him the franchise’s longest-tenured player and the face of the team. The deal is worth over $100 million and will run a minimum of six years, potentially up to nine, keeping the 23/24-year-old star with Chicago beyond 2031 as the club’s payroll climbs toward about $221 million. Crow-Armstrong, an All-Star who finished with 31 homers and 35 steals, was drafted by the Mets in 2020 and traded to the Cubs for Javier Baez; Cubs president Jed Hoyer lauded his superstar potential as the deal takes shape.
