Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong: Sent to Cubs for Baez

Crow-Armstrong (shoulder) is part of the trade package the Mets are sending to the Cubs for Javier Baez and Trevor Williams, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Crow-Armstrong underwent surgery on his right (non-throwing) shoulder to address a glenoid labral articulate disruption (GLAD) in May and isn't expected to play again this season, but he's a big get for the Cubs as one of the Mets' top prospects. He was drafted 19th overall in the 2020 draft and received his first taste of professional ball this year at Low-A St. Lucie, going 10-for-24 with two doubles, seven walks, four RBI, six runs and two stolen bases in six games.
