Column: As Pete Crow-Armstrong's value soars, could Jed Hoyer's future be tied to the young Chicago Cubs star?
Briefly

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, has opened up about his initial concerns regarding joining a team that struggles with quarterback development. This sentiment reflects wider issues in Chicago's sports landscape, particularly regarding contract negotiations in MLB. Cubs President Jed Hoyer is in talks for a contract extension for star prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong, whose recent performance has significantly increased his market value. Hoyer acknowledges that keeping negotiations private is beneficial, as public speculation complicates the process. Crow-Armstrong will likely wait for free agency before signing, given the evolving salary landscape expected by 2030.
"In general, it's easier to negotiate if it's not out in the media. People aren't speculating on numbers and things like that."
"Crow-Armstrong's value has soared over the last six weeks, perhaps tripling whatever amount the Cubs had in mind when they began talks in spring training."
