Open Extended Reactions

Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs are finalizing a long-term contract extension, sources told ESPN, locking up one of the breakout stars of last season after he won a Gold Glove and posted the team's first 30-30 season in three decades.

Crow-Armstrong, who turns 24 on Wednesday, cemented himself as the best defensive center fielder in baseball last season and was strong offensively in his first full major league season, prompting Chicago to pursue an extension over the winter.
