Chicago Cubs: Pete Crow-Armstrong credits fans for desire to sign 6-year contract extension
The Chicago Cubs did not get off to the start that they wanted to in 2026. They dropped their Opening Day game against the Washington Nationals by the score of 10-4. However, over the span of the last few days, they have locked up two of their core players for the long run.
After the Opening Day game was over, it was reported that the Cubs and Gold Glove outfielder Nico Hoerner had agreed to a long-term extension. This news came after Chicago announced that they had signed All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to a six-year $115 million contract.
On Friday, Crow-Armstrong addressed the media for the first time since signing his new contract.
Pete Crow-Armstrong praises Chicago Cubs fans

When Crow-Armstrong spoke to the media on Friday, he was highly complimentary of the Cubs organization and manager Craig Counsell. But he also seemed to indicate that it was the fans in Chicago themselves who made him want to stay right where he was for the long-term.
“I’m most excited about being in Chicago for the next six-plus years, very lucky to be in an amazing city and around the people here,” Crow-Armstrong said.
“This is one of the most unique baseball cities in the world, I would argue that it’s the best. It was the coolest thing for me to learn about Cubs fans and the attention they pay. They’re not quick to turn things negative. It really helps us as players to play in front of people who want to win, but are also just happy to be at the ballpark and watch baseball.”
While Opening Day did not go the way the Cubs wanted it to, it is a 162-game season. They have months of baseball left to play.
And thanks to this extension, and their fans, Chicago will have Crow-Armstrong around for next 1,000+ baseball games.
