A day after news broke that the Chicago Cubs and Pete Crow-Armstrong were finalizing a contract extension, multiple media outlets reported the specifics on Tuesday.

The center fielder reportedly is receiving a six-year, $115 million deal.

It's quite a present one day before Crow-Armstrong's 24th birthday on Wednesday.

Last season, Crow-Armstrong received his first All-Star selection, won a Gold Glove and ended up ninth in National League MVP voting.

In his third major league campaign, Crow-Armstrong got off to a great start in 2025, hitting .265/.302/.544 with 25 homers and 71 RBIs in 95 games before the All-Star break. He faltered in the second half, however, batting .216/.262/.372 with six homers and 24 RBIs in 62 games.

He ended the year at .247/.287/.481 with 31 homers and 95 RBIs. Crow-Armstrong also amassed 37 doubles and 35 stolen bases, becoming the first Cub with 30-plus doubles, homers and steals in the same season.

Crow-Armstrong, through 293 major league games, has a .240/.285/.437 batting line with 50 doubles, 10 triples, 41 homers, 143 RBIs and 64 steals.

Chosen by the Mets in the first round (19th overall) of the 2020 draft, Crow-Armstrong was sent to the Cubs in the July 2021 trade that moved infielder Javier Baez and right-hander Trevor Williams to New York.

The Cubs begin the season on Thursday at home against the Washington Nationals.
