Pete Crow-Armstrong also will be earning more cash off the field as he becomes a spokesman for Gatorade. He's the first MLB player to receive an endorsement from Gatorade since 2023 when Seattle Mariners CF Julio Rodriguez joined their advertising campaign.

@HotStoveCubbies Ngl his agent probably pushed for him to hit the market around 30-31. That puts him in a position to sign a potentially bigger long term deal vs hitting the market in his mid 30’s where he won’t get paid as much. Honestly genius on his end, and very glad it worked out this way

@HotStoveCubbies Love the deal. It could be really affordable for Cubs in later years. The lack of option years is interesting cause contracts like these usually always include those.

@HotStoveCubbies I still don’t understand how the Cubs’ coaches got punished here

In honor of the great Pete Crow-Armstrong extension with the Cubs here is my favorite PCA clip ever. The essence of PCA.

Wily Peralta -- 10-year MLBer -- throws a pitch behind and then over the head of Cubs top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong in Triple-A. Iowa manager Marty Pevey is then ejected defending PCA. PCA then crushes a massive homer. ⚾️🎆 (via @MarkFreundTV)

The lack of a club option in Pete Crow-Armstrong’s deal with the Cubs is rare. This is by far the biggest guarantee for a player with five years of club control that doesn’t include an option. Cubs were still fine with it. They get a high-floor player with superstar ceiling.

Pete Crow-Armstrong's extension surpasses Carlos Zambrano's 2007 deal as largest in team history. Can max out out at $133 million.

Deal starting in 2027 is key. I would have liked a 8+ year deal or adding club options but the Cubs get him in his prime years. Not trying to nitpick at all. PCA is a freaking Cub for a long time.

Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a six-year, $115 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal starts in 2027 and does not include a club option, allowing Crow-Armstrong to hit free agency before his age-31 season.

PCA deal:
—A Top 3 contract for guaranteed money that doesn’t have team control past age 30 – he will be FA after age-30 season
—Largest contract ever with no club options for a player with 5 years control left at time of signing

@HotStoveCubbies He was already signed to 5 years…
So I’d safely say it’s going to be AT-LEAST 8! Hopefully more!
English
I really hope PCA’s deal is 8+ years! That would be neat!

Pete Crow-Armstrong’s extension is anywhere from 6 to 9 years, making him the soon to be longest tenured active Cubs player, per @BNightengale.
