Cubs Lock in Star CF Crow-Armstrong

On March 26th, the Chicago Cubs have agreed to a 6-year, $115 million contract extension

with center-fielder Pete, Crow Armstrong.

The deal starts in 2027 and could reach $133 million total.

Sources say it was finalized Tuesday night, though the team is not announced yet.

Crow Armstrong turned 24 years old this week and just joined Gatorade sponsored athletes.

He's coming off a breakout season with 31 home runs, 37 doubles, and 35 stolen bases,

making him the first Cubs player too.

Hit to 30-30-30 mark.

He also won his first goal glove and set records for tough defensive plays in center field.

This marks his second straight opening day start there, ending the Cubs long search for

a reliable option in that spot.

Before him, the team used a dozen different center-fielder over 19 years.

This praise his speed and elite defense as key to the team's success and wins.

Team mates are excited about keeping him through, at least 2032.

Veterans like Danzby Swanson called it great for the organization and the city, while the

manager highlighted his world-class defense.

The front-office noted how rare it is to find such talent.

Expect a press conference Friday at Rigglyfield to make it official, as the Cubs gear up for

another run with their homegrown star locked in.
