Spring training is a common time for extensions but it doesn’t seem like there’s too much smoke between the Cubs and Pete Crow-Armstrong. The outfielder was asked about the topic on Foul Territory this week but downplayed the urgency. “There will be talks, there have been talks,” he said. “But at the same time, we’re not really in any rush to do anything. I’d like to keep it that way just ’cause I’m going to go out and play regardless… There’s bigger fish to fry right now than getting me paid.”
The Cubs and Crow-Armstrong had some extension talks around this time last year.
