"Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is being fined an undisclosed amount of money stemming from an incident with a fan Sunday at Rate Field, sources familiar with the situation said Tuesday. An extensive investigation into the incident wasn't necessary as Crow-Armstrong acknowledged his role in the incident. It's standard practice to fine or even suspend in-uniform personnel for negative interactions with fans such as the one Crow-Armstrong had after he failed to make a catch against the wall in right-center field."

"Pete Crow-Armstrong has already apologized for his remarks, saying the following: "I think I just regret my choice of words the most and who that affects in my life, directly or indirectly. I don't think that any of the women in my life would think I would say those kinds of words regularly, especially referring to them. So I'm just bummed out about the word choice, and that a bunch of little kids probably find their way to social media and seeing that as well .... I am intense on the field. In a moment like that, I think I let it get away from me a little bit.""

""But, again, poor word choice, and a lack of awareness, too, when it comes to who's watching it. I don't want to represent the other guys in this clubhouse that way, because mostly everybody in here is the opposite of that.""
