Pete Crow-Armstrong reportedly is receiving a present ahead of his 24th birthday on Wednesday.
The center fielder and the Chicago Cubs are completing a long-term contract extension, multiple media outlets reported Monday night. The financial terms and length of the deal weren't reported.
Crow-Armstrong is coming off a season in which earned his first All-Star selection, won a Gold Glove and finished ninth in National League MVP voting.
In his third major league season, Crow-Armstrong got off to a great start in 2025, hitting .265/.302/.544 with 25 homers and 71 RBIs in 95 games before the All-Star break. He tailed off badly in the second half, though, batting .216/.262/.372 with six homers and 24 RBIs in 62 games.
He finished at .247/.287/.481 with 31 homers and 95 RBIs. Crow-Armstrong also hit 37 doubles and stole 35 bases, becoming the first Cubs with 30-plus doubles, homers and steals in the same season.
Through 293 major league games, Crow-Armstrong owns a .240/.285/.437 batting line with 50 doubles, 10 triples, 41 homers, 143 RBIs and 64 steals.
Selected by the Mets in the first round (No. 19 overall) of the 2020 draft, Crow-Armstrong was traded to the Cubs in the July 2021 deal that sent infielder Javier Baez and right-hander Trevor Williams to New York.
The Cubs open the season on Thursday against the visiting Washington Nationals.
