Pete Crow-Armstrong has agreed to a $115 million, six-year contract with the Chicago Cubs, establishing the All-Star center fielder as one of the franchise’s core players. A person familiar with the deal confirmed the move to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced. The contract starts in 2027. Crow-Armstrong, who turns 24 on Wednesday, is coming off a breakout performance. He hit .247 with 31 homers, 95 RBIs and 35 steals last season, helping the Cubs earn an NL wild card for the team’s first playoff appearance since 2020.
