"Crow-Armstrong's deal guarantees him $115MM and could climb another $18MM based on his MVP finishes. Hoerner's deal is even more substantial, guaranteeing him $141MM."
"Crow-Armstrong's season-long stats in 2025 included a 109 wRC+, 31 homers, 35 steals, and 6.0 bWAR/5.4 fWAR, but he faced a deep slump in August and September."
"While Crow-Armstrong struggled in terms of consistency, his speed and defense make him a viable major league player, but he needs to improve to justify a nine-figure deal."
The Cubs have secured long-term extensions for center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and second baseman Nico Hoerner, keeping them in Chicago until 2032. Crow-Armstrong's deal is worth $115MM, potentially increasing with MVP finishes, while Hoerner's totals $141MM, with a net present value of $137.5MM. Both players had career years in 2025, but their contracts represent significant investments. Crow-Armstrong's youth and potential are promising, despite a late-season slump, while Hoerner's performance will also be critical in justifying their contracts.
