The Chicago Cubs are currently in discussions over a long-term contract for rising star Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA), who is an NL MVP candidate. Initially, the Cubs proposed between $60 million and $70 million in spring, but given PCA's explosive success this season, they are expected to raise their bid significantly. PCA's outstanding performance has made him the NL WAR leader at 2.9. The Cubs previously sought to use other player contracts as benchmarks, but with PCA's rise, they need new comparisons as his value increases.
The Cubs are aggressively pursuing NL MVP candidate Pete Crow-Armstrong, previously offering a long-term deal worth $60-$70 million, which is expected to increase.
With PCA now leading in NL WAR at 2.9, tied with stars like Fernando Tatis Jr., the Cubs recognize the need to raise their compensation offer.
