Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has been one of the hottest players in baseball. The 23-year-old has emerged as an MVP candidate, slashing .281\/.319\/.562 with 15 home runs, 15 doubles, an MLB-leading 21 stolen bases, and tops the NL with a 3.8 bWAR.<\/p>\n

With Crow-Armstrong\u2019s breakout season, questions have turned to whether the Cubs will be able to sign him to a contract extension. Several young stars across the league have already signed extensions, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • <\/li>\n
  • \n

    Jackson Chourio: eight years, $82 million with Milwaukee Brewers before making MLB debut<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • <\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n
  • <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Cubs still have plenty of time to get an extension done with PCA. He isn\u2019t arbitration eligible until 2028 and doesn\u2019t hit free agency until after the 2030 season when he\u2019s 28.<\/p>\n

    But what would a contract extension look like for the emerging star? ESPN.com\u2019s Cubs beat writer Jesse Rogers believes Crow-Armstrong could easily get above $100 million.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYou just have to land on the right number. It\u2019s not $300 million. It\u2019s not $200 million. It\u2019s somewhere between 110 and 150,\u201d Rogers told Sportsnaut\u2019s Scott Gulbransen. \u201cTo me, that feels like something that can get done.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Rogers added that Crow-Armstrong is starting to enter the Witt\/Carroll\/Chourio contract territory.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s the kind of contract a lot of those guys have gotten. The question, I think, the team is getting their head around is he now jumped truly into that category and not just like the seven-year, $75 million guy. I think most people around the league would say yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Extension or not, PCA will be roaming center at Wrigley Field for years to come. But if he continues this pace and the Cubs can\u2019t get a deal done, his price will only increase.<\/p>\n
