## Resource

Pete Crow-Armstrong is turning Chicago baseball upside down, already in MVP talks and leading the Cubs with electrifying stats—21 homers, .291 average, .917 OPS—with June’s .381 clip proving he’s no fluke. The Cubs, sitting second after a rough season, are riding his breakout as they head into the All-Star break, primed for a second-half surge. Already a Gold Glove winner and the team’s offensive engine, PCA’s arrival via trade is a steal—and he’s just getting started.
