Report: Cubs, Pete Crow-Armstrong Agree to Six-Year Extension<\/h2>\n

In April 2025, Crow-Armstrong reportedly declined a contract offer from the Cubs, reportedly worth up to $75 million. The deal, like this one, would have likely covered the rest of his arbitration years as well as a couple of years in free agency. Instead, the soon-to-be 24-year-old decided to bet on himself and has done so successfully. If the Cubs are to regain supremacy in the National League Central, he will be a key part of the core to do it.<\/p>\n

Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a six-year, $115 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal starts in 2027 and does not include a club option, allowing Crow-Armstrong to hit free agency before his age-31 season.<\/p>\n
