Many Chicago Cubs fans are still waking up to the news that Pete Crow-Armstrong is finalizing a long-term extension to remain in Chicago for the foreseeable future. Terms of Crow-Armstrong's new contract have yet to be revealed, but the expectation is that the total value is in the neighborhood of $120 million. It's also expected to be a contract that buys out the first year or two of Crow-Armstrong being eligible for free agency.
Similar to the Cubs not passing on Alex Bregman for a second consecutive offseason, extending Crow-Armstrong now is a move that had to get done.
