CHICAGO — In a decision that has shaken the baseball world, the Chicago Cubs have officially signed centerfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA) to a long-term contract worth $100 million. This contract affirms the team’s absolute trust in the young talent, and marks PCA as an indispensable part of the Cubs for many years to come.
At only 23 years old, PCA has quickly proven himself to be one of the brightest stars in MLB. In the 2025 season, he made his mark with 39 home runs, 138 RBIs and 64 stolen bases, leading the National League in WAR (2.9). These numbers not only speak to his strength on the field but also demonstrate his ability to have a comprehensive impact, from defense to offense. PCA became one of the few players in MLB history to hit 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in the same season, proving that he was not only a complete athlete but also a symbol of breakthrough.
Before signing this contract, PCA had received interest from most of the biggest MLB teams. But the young star was not tempted by huge offers: “Even if it was a hundred million dollars, I would say no to any other offer. I want to become a Cubs legend!” – PCA shared during the contract signing ceremony, his eyes burning and his voice full of determination.
This contract was not only a huge number but also symbolic. The Cubs committed to keeping PCA in Chicago for the rest of his career, making him a central pillar of the team and a new symbol of the city. Fans were immediately excited and hopeful: social media was flooded with the hashtag #CrowArmstrongCubs and pictures of PCA in a Cubs jersey, as if promising a bright future.
Cubs CEO Theo Epstein emphasized: “We’re not just signing a great player, but also a leader and a fighter. PCA represents everything we want in a Cubs icon: talent, passion and loyalty.”
With this signing, PCA will not only become a mainstay on the field but also an inspiration for younger players, an icon that fans will stick with for decades. Even those who doubted his ability to explode have to admit: Crow-Armstrong embodies the combination of skill, strategy and Chicago Cubs spirit.
PCA will have the opportunity to prove his worth on the field in the upcoming games, starting with the Cubs’ game against the New York Mets on September 24. This will be his official debut as a permanent mainstay for the team, and fans across Chicago are eager to see the hits, the steals, and all the moments that will mark PCA.
Pete Crow-Armstrong has officially entered a new chapter in his career, not just as a player, but also as a living symbol of the Chicago Cubs – a story that is sensational, inspiring, and promises many surprises in the coming season. With this hundred million dollar contract, the Cubs not only retain their bright star, but also send a strong message: Chicago will always be home for legends.
