The Chicago Cubs have locked up their brightest young star, Pete Crow-Armstrong, to a six-year contract worth $115 million. The extension does not begin until the 2027 season, so he is locked into Chicago through the 2032 season. This year, Crow-Armstrong is playing on his pre-arbitration salary, which means he is getting paid $894,000. However, he also was given a $5 million signing bonus for 2026, giving him a wage of $5.894 million.
Last year, the Cubs approached Crow-Armstrong about signing a long-term contract extension. It is said to have been worth about $66 million. He turned it down hoping to earn a larger offer in the future. Clearly, it worked out for him.
Pete Crow-Armstrong contract details with the Chicago Cubs revealed
Crow-Armstrong’s contract, as stated, is a six-year deal worth $115 million, giving him an annual salary of $19 million. However, he is not going to be paid exactly $19 million in any of the contract’s six seasons.
According to Mark Feinsand, the Cubs have structured Crow-Armstrong’s deal so that he gets salary bumps every few years:
PCA contract details, per source:
$5M Signing Bonus
2027-29: $10M
2030: $20M
2031-32: $30M— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) March 25, 2026
As referenced above, $5 million of the extension is being applied to the 2026 season as a signing bonus. Then, he will be paid $10 million a year in 2027, 2028, and 2029.
2030 will see Crow-Armstrong getting paid $20 million, and then he will earn $30 million a year in 2031 and 2032.
The Cubs center fielder is coming off a season in which he hit .247/.287/.481 with 31 home runs, 95 RBI, and 35 stolen bases. If he can cut down on his strikeouts and improve his on-base percentage, $30 million a year for him in 2031 and 2032 will be an absolute steal by the time those years roll around.
What will be interesting to see, and this is true for all MLB contracts, is how teams and players view them if there is a lockout in 2027. If there is no season, his contract could be bumped to 2033.
