Chicago, IL – In a powerful and emotional statement, Chicago Cubs young star Pete Crow-Armstrong has spoken out against malicious rumors that he was considering leaving the team for a bigger contract after the Cubs failed to make it to the World Series.
“Not only are those rumors false, they are an insult to my love and commitment to this team,” Crow-Armstrong said in an exclusive interview with The Players’ Tribune. “I don’t play for the money. I play for the love, for the fans, and for Chicago.”
The 2025 season marks a significant step forward for Crow-Armstrong’s career. He was selected to the All-Star team for the first time, becoming the only player in MLB to hit at least 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases this season. He is also a strong candidate for the Gold Glove award, highlighting his excellent defensive abilities.
However, after the Cubs failed to advance deep into the playoffs, some sources spread that Crow-Armstrong might seek a lucrative contract elsewhere. These rumors caused a stir among fans and experts. However, in the interview, Crow-Armstrong completely denied these information.
“I have a contract with the Cubs until 2030,” he said. “I don’t care about baseless rumors. I just focus on giving my all for the team and helping the Cubs win.”
It is known that the Cubs had previously offered Crow-Armstrong a $75 million contract extension, but he declined to focus on the season. Currently, the extension negotiations are still underway.
Experts highly appreciate Crow-Armstrong’s professional attitude and commitment to the team. Cubs President Jed Hoyer expressed his confidence in his ability and affirmed that Crow-Armstrong is an important part of the team’s future.
With impressive achievements and professional attitude, Crow-Armstrong has proven that he is not only a promising young talent but also a symbol of Chicago Cubs pride.
Cubs fans hope that Crow-Armstrong will continue to shine and help the team achieve great success in the future.
