"Crow-Armstrong hit .265/.302/.544 with 25 home runs and 27 stolen bases in the first half of last season, making the NL All-Star team."
"Though Crow-Armstrong struggled in the second half, with only six home runs, eight steals and a .216/.262/.372 slash line, his MVP-caliber talent convinced the Cubs that the second half was more anomalous than the first."
Pete Crow-Armstrong signed a six-year, $115 million contract extension with the Chicago Cubs, effective in 2027 and lacking a club option.

Crow-Armstrong had a strong first half, hitting .265 with 25 home runs and 27 stolen bases, earning an All-Star selection. Despite a weaker second half, the Cubs believe his initial performance reflects his true potential.
