PCA strengthens MVP case with historic Crosstown Classic performance

Pete Crow-Armstrong had an emphatic moment in his 2026 MVP-caliber campaign as he launched a pair of home runs, including a walk-off blast, against the White Sox in the Cubs win in the Crosstown Classic. Andy Martínez, Tony Andracki and Kyle Millinowisch recap the incredible night from PCA and assess what this means for his MVP campaign, especially going up against the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani.  The crew then breaks down what Dansby Swanson's oblique injury means to the team, and why they're concerned about, even though he hasn't been hitting as well as he has in the past. Then, they discuss Edward Cabrera's blister that has landed him on the injured list for the second time this season (and his third IL stint overall) and what role, if any, he'll play in 2026. The trio wrap up by discussing whether or not they'd like to see a Crosstown Classic World Series and what that would mean for the the city.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
