Cubs News

Pete Crow-Armstrong continues to shine for the Cubs, smashing his 40th home run in a disappointing 10-3 loss to the Marlins that saw Clay Holmes struggle mightily on the mound. Despite the setback, PCA's power surge places him in elite company, raising hopes for a potential 40-40 season. Meanwhile, the Cubs' playoff aspirations remain bright as they climb into the Top 5 of the Power Rankings, a testament to their recent form. However, looming offseason decisions hang over the organization, especially with Owen Caissie’s example serving as a cautionary tale. As the Cubs gear up for a crucial stretch run, they must balance current success with strategic planning for the future.
