The Chicago Cubs and star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong are finalizing a long-term contract extension, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Crow-Armstrong is coming off a massive breakout season where he achieved a 30-30 campaign—recording at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases—while also earning a Gold Glove for his defensive excellence in center field. The extension represents a significant investment by the organization to lock up a franchise-caliber talent who has quickly become a cornerstone of the roster.
The young outfielder has established himself as one of the premier two-way threats in the National League. By reaching this agreement, the Cubs ensure their defensive anchor and offensive spark plug remains in Chicago for the long term. Specific details regarding the length of the contract and the total guaranteed money are expected to be released as the deal is finalized.
