Cubs, Pete Crow

LOS ANGELES — The Chicago Cubs and center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong have tabled contract talks after exchanging extension proposals and not finding enough common ground to close a deal, sources briefed on the negotiations told The Athletic.

The Cubs already have Crow-Armstrong under club control through the 2030 season, and he has not yet played 162 career games at the major-league level. In that context, neither side felt a particular sense of urgency.

Even if officials recognized a low probability of a deal coming to fruition, it still made sense for Chicago’s front office and Crow-Armstrong’s agency to entertain concepts in spring training and possibly lay some groundwork for the future.

MLB.com first mentioned Crow-Armstrong’s contract discussions on Saturday via X. Team and league sources characterized the outline of that report — a deal potentially worth around $75 million — as inaccurate.

The parameters, though, were discussed in depth around the start of the season, which began early for the Cubs with the Tokyo Series. By that point, young center fielder Jackson Merrill had not yet signed his nine-year, $135 million contract extension with the San Diego Padres, which was quickly viewed as a team-friendly deal.

Crow-Armstrong’s agent, Ryan Hamill, had visited the Cubs’ Arizona complex in March. Hamill helps oversee Creative Artists Agency’s baseball division, which finalized Corbin Carroll’s eight-year, $111 million contract extension during spring training in 2023. Carroll was only 22 years old at that stage, with just 32 games on his major-league resume.

Like Crow-Armstrong, Carroll was a first-round pick out of high school who projected to have a stable floor with his ability to play center field and steal bases. Carroll then produced an enormous 2023 season, becoming the National League’s Rookie of the Year and making a World Series run with the Diamondbacks.

Crow-Armstrong, however, did not produce offensively the way that Carroll did during his major-league debut. Merrill also had a far superior rookie season to Crow-Armstrong, who needed a strong second half to boost his overall OPS to .670. Still, Crow-Armstrong’s total contributions were worth 2.3 wins above replacement, per Baseball Reference.

For the Cubs and Crow-Armstrong, another reference point appears to be Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II, who signed an eight-year, $72 million contract extension (plus two club options) as a rookie in 2022. Another defense-first player, Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, signed a seven-year, $63.5 million contract extension (plus a club option) last year.

At the age of 23, Crow-Armstrong still has a lot of room to grow as a left-handed hitter. He wants to develop into a complete, well-rounded player — not someone just known for highlight-reel catches. Still, he understands that his elite defense at a premium position and game-changing speed should create the consistent value that typically leads to a long career.

At the same time, the Cubs recognize that Crow-Armstrong has the dynamic skills and magnetic personality to potentially become a superstar at Wrigley Field, which would be a kind of symmetry for the young player who was acquired in the Javier Báez trade. Tabling discussions isn’t the same as cutting off negotiations forever.

Gulf Shores, Ala. – The LSU Beach Volleyball fell to No. 6 Cal Poly in a hard-fought battle to close out the 2025 season.

All courts but Court 1 went into extra points in the first set. Emily Meyer and Skylar Martin lost Court 4; 22-20 and 14-21, while Kate Baker and Tatum Finlason lost Court 5; 24-26 and 10-21, to give Cal Poly a 2-0 lead in the duel. Elle Evers and Julia Sprecher fought but ultimately fell short, losing Court 3; 22-24 and 19-21. Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken on Court 1 and Aubrey O’Gorman and Camryn Chatellier did not complete their matches due to the duel being played to decision.

“It’s not possible to put into words the combination of how proud I am and how tough it is to be done,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We knew this would be a really challenging match, but to lose in such an amazingly close manner makes it sting a little more. We played great and played well enough to win, but it just didn’t go our way. So many of the things that were in our control we executed amazingly. The season as a whole was one of the most gratifying ones I’ve been a part of. From where we started to where we finished, the team is almost unrecognizable. It will be impossible to replace our seniors, Gabi, Parker, Emily, Madison, and Cassidy. I’m so grateful for how they have influenced our program. While we will miss them, their leadership and the remarkable example they set, it’s impossible not to recognize how capable our young returning players on our roster are. I’m so proud of our whole team and staff for the season we had. I’m also excited about the future of our program.”

Late goals, penalty shootouts and exciting water polo was the order of the day as the GoCardless Swim England National Age Group Championship Finals 2025 (U17/U19) got underway in Coventry.

Places in each of the medal matches were decided on Saturday at the Alan Higgs Centre after eight excellent semi-finals took centre stage in the Midlands.

Watford’s nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Exeter was the highlight of the day as they secured a spot alongside City of Manchester in the U17 Open final.

That was the first of two finals places for the North West with their U17s looking to emulate the Open U19 team tomorrow after they defeated Watford in the U19 semi-final.

West London Penguin await Manchester in the U19 Open final whilst Penguin’s U17 Female side will take on City of Liverpool for gold.

City of Sheffield and City of Bristol were also victorious in Coventry, and they’ll contest the U19 Female final on Sunday afternoon.

You can find out more about each of the matches below with the full match sheets available on the live scoreboard page.

Watford on the spot

We start with Watford’s tense penalty shootout win, defeating an Exeter side that took them to their limit.

The two teams played out a back-and-forth contest Exeter edging both the first and final quarters with Watford taking control in the middle of the match.

The pair were never split by more than three goals throughout with the Londoners overcoming their 10-7 deficit part way through the third to lead going into the final quarter.

Captain Gethin Dorrington and Ilija Crompton’s each scored their fourth goal of the game to take Watford into a narrow 14-13 lead but a nervy end to the match allowed Toby C-Y grabbed the equaliser to take the game to penalties.

The forwards were in fine form in the shootout with each of the initial 10 shots hitting the back of the net. That took us to sudden death where the unfortunate Bernat Amado saw the second of his penalties saved.

Rishi Patel then stepped up and made no mistake as he fired his effort into the corner to book his team a place in tomorrow’s gold medal match.

They’ll be facing a City of Manchester team that were dominant in their victory over Worthing.

The 2024 bronze medallists ran out 20-8 winners to guarantee themselves a better finish than they had 12 months ago in an exceptional display.

Andrew Stephenson and Yaroslav Shemanov top scored with five goals each whilst Caelan McMillan and Otis Mckelvey grabbed four for themselves to put them right in the hunt for the top scorer award.

The South East club battled until the end, scoring the final two goals of the match through Piaras Donnelly and Sammy Smith to give them a confidence boost ahead of tomorrow’s bronze medal match.

Liverpool and West London Penguin secure U17 female final spots

City of Liverpool edged out Worthing in a thriller to kick off the GoCardless Swim England Water Polo National Age Group Championships.

Worthing stormed into a 3-0 lead early on with Florrie Cooper’s double putting the West Sussex side into a dominant position after the opening period.

However, in the second, Liverpool fought back to level the game at half time before moving into a 7-5 ahead of the final eight minutes.

The two sides traded goals in the final period with Worthing’s Elsie Graves’ goalscoring exploits helping keep her team in the match-up.

She netted five across the match, including the final goal of the game with just 42 seconds left on the clock. That put her team within one, but Liverpool held on with captain Abbie Evans, Tilly McGeehan and Jenna Binks each grabbing a brace.

The Merseysiders will meet West London Penguin in the final as Manpreet Gill put in a stunning display to lead her team to victory.

She topped scored with six of her sides 13 goals as they defeated a tough Exeter side 13-6.

After a goal filled opening period, Penguin asserted their dominance in the second to move into an 8-3 lead at half time.

They defended well late on, limiting Exeter to a number of long-range efforts and were on form at the other end to extend their advantage.

Kate James’ hat trick and Poppy Liu’s double showed some of the quality in the Exeter side but Penguin went on to take a well-deserved place in tomorrow’s final where they’ll look to avenge last year’s defeat.

U17 Female semi-finals results

Worthing 8 – 9 City of Liverpool (3-1, 0-2, 2-4, 3-2)

West London Penguin scorers: Darya Kakari, Anjelea Gallgher-Padayachy (2), Manpreet Gill (6), Alice Norwell, Florence Mauri-Boulonge (2), Emily Barea.

Exeter scorers: Poppy Liu (2), Yasmine Chaabane, Kate James (3).

Sheffield steal the show

City of Sheffield were in fine form as they look to go one better in Coventry in 2025.

The South Yorkshire club put in a comprehensive display to defeat defending champions Cheltenham at the Alan Higgs Centre.

Alice Berell and Georgia Coles grabbed six with Ruby Taylor scoring seven as they ran out 26-6 winners on the day.

Their performance was one of the standouts of the day, whilst Cheltenham’s young team will look to bounce back as they look to leave with a medal on Sunday.

City of Bristol held off a late Liverpool fight back to secure a date with Sheffield in tomorrow’s final.

The South West team looked comfortable for the most part, storming into a 9-3 lead by half time.

However, Liverpool gave them something to think about late on, scoring five in the final period as they started to close the gap.

Bristol held their nerve to not let the Merseysiders back in it with late goals from Geogia Haines and Harriet Bates getting them over the line with a solid 15-10 win.

Haines top scored in the match with five whilst Josephine Lamont Tucker took her hat trick expertly as they sent them on their way to the gold medal match.

U19 Female semi-finals results

City of Sheffield 26 – 6 Cheltenham (6-0, 5-3, 7-2, 8-1)

City of Sheffield scorers: Georgie Coles (6), Alice Berill (6), Ida-Rose Naseem, Ruby Taylor (7), Isabel Olcer, Rowena Kanan, Anna Woodhall (4).

Cheltenham scorers: Georgia Haslam, Luisa Borgia, Imogen Blassberg, Alice Ross, Lucy Paterson.

City of Liverpool 10 – 15 City of Bristol (0-3, 3-6, 2-4, 5-2)

City of Bristol scorers: Josephine Lamont Tuckett (3), Harriet Bates (2), India Knights-Hume (2), Geogia Haines (5), Darcey Tomlinson (2), Manon Lythgoe.

Manchester and Penguin to face off for gold

Three-time winners in this event, City of Manchester, will battle West London Penguin in tomorrow’s open U19 final.

Both clubs had to wait until the end of the day for their tournament to get underway but they each edged out Cheltenham and Watford in two competitive semi-finals.

Penguin were up first where a goal-scoring clinic from Sidney Gruber saw them see off Cheltenham in a 12-9 win.

Gruber grabbed seven of his side’s goals, including four in the second quarter alone, to put the game just out of reach of the Gloucestershire outfit.

His first half goals alongside a hat trick from Michelangelo Antonelli and a brace from Shai Saltman meant they were always in control despite having to withstand some heavy second half pressure.

Cheltenham played well in defeat with Alfie Clarke and GB U18 star Will Bamborough leading their scoring charts.

They’ll face Watford in what is set to be a close match for bronze after they lost out 13-6 to Manchester.

In the final game of the evening, Manchester were able to take control of the match in the third after a close first half.

A 5-1 third period score changed the game and allowed them to manage the game well late on to seal the victory – partly thanks to a hat trick each from Oliver Salimbeni and George Billington.

NEW LONDON, Conn.—Two members of the Babson College men’s and women’s track & field teams recorded top-10 finishes to open the New England Division III Championships on Friday afternoon at Nitchman Track on the campus of the Coast Guard Academy. 

The Beavers’ top individual finish of the day came in the men’s 10,000-meter run where graduate student Matthew Campbell (South Easton, Mass.) came in seventh with a career-best time of 32:44.85. He was inside the top 10 for the entirety of the race and his final lap was his fastest of the race (1:11.33) to beat his previous best time by nearly three seconds. 

First-year Patrick Allardi (Andover, Mass.) also competed for the men on Friday and placed 11th in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.18. 

The Babson women were led by first-year Victoria Hart (Greenwich, Conn.), who missed qualifying for the finals by a tenth of a second with her time of 15.21, which was good for ninth place in the 100-meter hurdles prelims. Junior Brooke Jankowski (Derry, N.H.) came in 12th with a time of 15.41, while classmate Julia Pike (Mansfield, Mass.) crossed the finish line in a time of 16.15. 

Junior Robyn Wilkes (Atlanta, Ga.) competed in the first of her two events this weekend on Friday, finishing 16th in the prelims of the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.52 that was just 0.01 seconds off her season-best time set at MIT back on April 19. 

The second day of competition at the New England Division III Championships begins on Saturday at 10 a.m.

For a second straight year, Cal Poly Beach Volleyball made a surprise push to the NCAA Championship semifinals, but fell just short of the title match on the beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama.

The No. 6 seed Mustangs lost to No. 2 seed TCU in the semifinal round 3-1, on Saturday, May 3.

The defeat ended a strong tournament run for Cal Poly, who beat No. 11 seed LSU in the opening round before upsetting No. 3 seed Stanford in the quarterfinals earlier in the day Saturday.

Their hopes of an NCAA title were dashed by the Horned Frogs, who had beaten the Mustangs in their only other matchup this season at the Center of Effort Challenge on April 12.

It was just the second final four appearance in program history, as last year’s third place run was the only other time the Mustangs had made it through quarterfinal action.

The No. 2 pair of junior Izzy Martinez and sophomore Logan Walter were the lone Mustang pairing to secure a victory, winning in three sets.

Cal Poly’s No. 1 pairing of senior Piper Ferch and sophomore Erin Inskeep went down in just two sets, looking outmatched after securing a win over the Cardinal earlier that morning. 

Not long after, No. 3 pairing of graduate student Lindsey Sparks and sophomore Quinn Perry were unable to hold off TCU’s dominant attack, falling in the third set 15-13 to secure the final.

TCU will move on to the championship round to face No. 4 seed LMU, who secured an upset win against UCLA.

The Mustangs will be looking to get back to the tournament next year with a different looking lineup, as starters Ferch, Sparks, Madi Nichols and Abbey Reinard will be graduating at the end of this year.
