Cubs News
The Cubs find themselves in a warm spot, boasting a 5-2 record over the last week, while the All-Star festivities showcased Pete Crow-Armstrong, who managed to snag a hit in a rather dull 4-0 shutout against the American League. While PCA's moment in the spotlight was a feather in the cap, it also served as a reminder that the NL continues to struggle on the All-Star stage, losing 11 of the last 13 games. Back in Chicago, the Cubs are eyeing potential trades as they consider making a bid for All-Star closer Mason Miller, though securing him may require a hefty package, possibly involving prospects like Matt Shaw and Jaxon Wiggins. As the season draws on, anticipation brews among fans about where this team will finish amidst a solid season so far.
