Just ahead of Opening Day, Chicago Cubs superstar outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has joined the Gatorade roster of athletes.<\/p>\n
Fresh off his 6-year, $115 million contract extension with the Cubs, Armstrong becomes the first MLB addition to the Gatorade roster since Seattle Mariners centerfielder Julio Rodr\u00edguez was added in 2023.<\/p>\n

Financial terms and contract length were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been drinking Gatorade since my Little League days, so it\u2019s surreal to join their iconic athlete roster,\u201d said Armstrong. \u201cIt\u2019s especially meaningful because Gatorade doesn\u2019t just sponsor athletes \u2013 they really understand what we need to perform at our best. After a recent hydration assessment, I was told I\u2019m the saltiest sweater on the team, so I always keep a Gatorlyte in my bag.\u201d<\/p>\n
PCA was a key player in the recent World Baseball Classic for Team USA. In nine games, he hit .364 with 12 hits, nine runs, and three triples.<\/p>\n

As part of the endorsement deal, Armstrong will work with fellow Chicago-based Gatorade on various projects, including a social content series distributed by the MLB, the 2027 MLB All-Star Game coming to Wrigley Field in July 2027, and more.<\/p>\n
\u201cPCA is a real rising leader in the MLB \u2013 electric speed, game-changing defense and a high-energy presence on and off the field,\u201d said \u2022 Jeff Kearney, Global Head of Sports Marketing at Gatorade. \u201cAs a Chicago-based brand, we\u2019re excited to partner with one of the city\u2019s brightest young stars \u2013 together fueling the next era of baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just ahead of Opening Day, Chicago Cubs superstar outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong has joined the Gatorade roster of athletes.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560057,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,508,148677,18286,462,14257,470,82],"class_list":["post-560056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-gatorade","tag-julio-rodriguez","tag-mlb","tag-pete-crow-armstrong","tag-seattle-mariners","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
