Chicago Cubs have sudden $140 million issue with MVP candidate

The Chicago Cubs have two key contracts in the outfield to consider as they sit three games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals for first place in the NL Central. The Cubs must decide on what to do with right fielder Kyle Tucker, on the final year of his contract.
Chicago also has an issue with Pete Crow-Armstrong.
The problem with Crow-Armstrong is a good one for the 2025 season. The 23-year-old is batting .280/.310/.565 with an OPS of .875. He has hit 14 home runs and recorded 48 RBI in 214 at-bats.
Crow-Armstrong bet on himself when he turned down a contract extension valued at approximately $65-75 million.
Pete Crow-Armstrong might be worth $140 million to the Chicago Cubs
Per Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Crow-Armstrong is playing his way into a contract extension worth $140 million. He’s now considered an MVP candidate.
“But the Cubs have been watching,” Heyman said on 670 The Score’s “Mully & Hugh Show” Tuesday morning. “They know that that wasn’t enough at this point. You know, he’s an MVP candidate. So, you know, they’ve had some talks since then, and they are still trying.
“That said, it’s going to be that much more difficult. While he probably or might have signed, I’m guessing now, if he might have signed for, you know, 90 million earlier, you know, maybe it’d be 140 million now, something, you know, I mean, it’s going to it’s the price is going up exponentially based on his play.”
With Tucker looking at a contract extension between $400-600 million, the Cubs front office will have their work cut out for them if they want to keep both players.
Given where Chicago is in the standings, ownership and the front office should consider doing all they can to pay Tucker and Crow-Armstrong.
